Unlocking the Benefits of Omega-3: What You Need to Know

Good nutrition is the most important factor in maintaining brain health. The key ingredients for a healthy body and mind are real, whole, fresh, pure foods, free from processing, chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics.

The most crucial component for ensuring normal cell and brain function is the Omega-3 fatty acid group. Omega-3 acids are derived from nature. It's hard to find them in today's modern, processed world. The only true source of Omega-3 is from ocean fish. The smaller the fish, the healthier it is, as it doesn't contain mercury and contaminants. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential components of the membranes surrounding each of our hundred trillion cells. Without these fatty acids, biological communication is impaired, and cells can't send messages to each other.

The two most important Omega-3 fatty acids are DHA and EPA. The brain is mostly fatty, with 60% comprised of DHA.

Nowadays, people are consuming more Omega-6 fatty acids, which are not healthy, and processed oils, including corn, soybean, or sunflower oil, as substitutes for Omega-3s derived from fish.

The ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats in our diets has risen in recent years from 1:1 (one molecule of Omega-6 to every molecule of Omega-3) to 1:10 (one molecule of Omega-3 to every 10 of Omega-6).

The effects are devastating. Our brains can't function properly without these fatty acids, leading to various issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, learning difficulties, and numerous neurological diseases. These fatty acids significantly impact cognitive development, vision improvement, immune function, fetal brain development, and more. Thus, Omega-3 supplementation is crucial for pregnant women to prevent heart disease and cancer.

Several studies have found that EPA from Omega-3 assists in treating postpartum depression.

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit heart health, prevent arrhythmias and strokes, reduce inflammation, and prevent blood clots. They also help balance blood sugar levels.

Omega-3 can be consumed as a dietary supplement. It's best to keep it refrigerated and purchase from a store that stores it chilled for better quality.
