Prevent Blindness
Our body cannot make omega-3 fatty acids on its own, so they must be obtained through diet or supplements for optimal visual health. They are important for the health of the eyes. They help to prevent age-related macular degeneration. Omega-3 fatty acids also help to protect against dry eye syndrome and cataracts.
Boost brain health
A new study has found that omega-3 fatty acids may boost brain health. The study examined data from 1,000 people and found that those who had higher levels of omega-3s in their blood were more likely to have better cognitive function.
These fatty acids have potent anti-inflammatory properties. They have been linked to multiple health benefits, including heart health and brain health. This study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that omega-3s may be good for the brain.
