Today I will be actually talking a bit more in-depth, but not a lot, on omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which are very important, as some of you might know or have heard perhaps, to overall health but also to performance, especially for the brain but also for the heart. Omega 3 fatty acids, omega 6 fatty acids, these nutrients are usually found in fruits or vegetables, seeds, things like walnuts, soybeans or edamame and so on. The body can produce various types of fats and the brain is naturally made up of a lot of fat, you may have read about this, however omega 3 and 6 fatty acids can't be produced naturally by your body, despite the fact that it does need them and they are important for health, performance, development, etc. Therefore it is important to consume them, well to consume foods with these nutrients in them on a regular basis. Aside from these foods, fish and fish oil are known to be a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids.
Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids help your brain develop and have been shown to aid in reducing the risk of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, ADHD and more, for adults as well as small children and they can help in treating cognitive decline caused by ageing or other factors in the enviroment and lifestyle. Fish oil decreases the proliferation of tumour cells according to certain research and clinical trials and also these fatty acids can aid in reducing elevated levels of triglycerides in your blood which represents fat in your blood and can be a big risk for heart disease. Another benefit observed is that omega 3 fatty acids specifically, help with anti-inflammatory drugs by improving their effect and can help with arthritis and other similar problems.
Furthermore these fatty acids are believed to help in some way, to some level, with brain function because, for example, depression risk seems to be lowered when they are consumed regularly and fish oil which again, is rich in some omega fatty acids, seems to improve the effects of antidepressants.
The health benefits of omega fatty acids are many and they are very important and although it's recommended to get these important, essential nutrients from foods, it may also be fine to use a supplement, such as Omegazene which is made by Lean Lab. It contains some of the most important fatty acids out there with plenty of research behind them: EPA, DHA, DPA. Visit the website for more info or to order.
