Prevent atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis means the hardening of the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow through. Omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to prevent atherosclerosis. In a recent study, people who took omega-6 supplements had a lower risk of developing atherosclerosis than those who did not take the supplements.
These fatty acids and others are important for maintaining heart health, but too much of them can lead to inflammation. They help prevent atherosclerosis by keeping the arteries clear and preventing the buildup of plaque.
