Omega-3 essential fatty acids
Article From
The American Heart Association has
endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for the heart. Through the
years, hundreds of studies have established that individuals with
diets high in omega-3 fatty acids experience a decrease in the risk
of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms.
Two clinical studies concluded that including
omega-3 rich foods or supplements in the diet could prevent sudden
death from abnormal heart rhythms. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease
the LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in your blood while increasing
the HDL (“good”) cholesterol helping you control high
cholesterol. They also protect the heart by preventing blood clots
and keeping other fats from injuring arterial walls.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of the
omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are often deficient in
the American diet today. Studies indicate that increasing the intake
of EPA may provide added protection against coronary heart disease,
high blood pressure and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty
acid essential to the proper functioning of our brains as adults.
Lack of sufficient DHA may be associated with impaired mental ability
as well as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
Low levels of DHA have also been associated with depression and
Alzheimer’s in adults.

Between 1994 to 2000, FDA prohibited companies that sell omega-3
fatty acids from telling Americans that those fatty acids found
in fish oil could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by as
much as 50%. FDA’s censorship contributed to a preventable
1.8 million sudden death heart attacks.
