Amazing Omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids may be beneficial in a number of ways.They can lower harmful fatty acids and lessen the risk of arrhythmia,or irregular heartbeat,which can be deadly,as well as plaque build-up in the arteries.They can also possibly counteract cancer,arthritis and diabetes,and may enhance brain function.
Omega-3 can lower the risk of death for heart attack patients by up to 30%.It may even reduce the skin inflammation that promotes wrinkles.You can take Omega-3 in pill form or get it naturally from fish-especially cold water fish such as sardines,mackerel or salmon,as well as shellfish-walnuts,canola oil,flaxseed and olive oil.Two servings a week are recommended for those who do not have heart disease;daily consumption is advised for those who do.
It is possible to take too much Omega-3.Bleeding may result.As always,consult your doctor before altering your diet in a significant way.I am not responsible for the misjudgement of readers with regard to this topic or any other matter.Professional medical advice is needed to ensure your well-being.
