What is Omega 3?
 Omega 3 is healthy fats that our bodies can’t make.  We have to eat enough Omega 3 in our daily diet because of their many health benefits.
Why do we have to boost our dietary intake of omega 3?
 Our Western diet is very rich in Omega 6 fatty acids (from red meat, cereals, and the cooking oils) but our diet should contain the same amount of Omega 3 as Omega 6, so we should all eat more Omega 3 to restore the balance between the two.
What are the different health benefits of Omega 3?
 Having the right level of Omega 3 is beneficial to your heart, joints and brain.
(a) The Heart
Omega 3 fatty acids help to maintain a healthy heart by lowering blood pressure, by reducing the risk of stroke and reducing the inflammation process in arteries. Omega 3 also helps to reduce the risk of fatal cardiovascular disease.
(b) The Joints
Omega 3 fatty acids can help reduce the severity of inflammation so can help reduce the symptoms of patients suffering from arthritis, a chronic condition causing inflammation and deformity in joints.
(c) The Brain – learning and concentration
Sufficient levels of Omega 3 intake is widely understood to boost concentration and learning abilities in children.
