Improve sleep
If you’re struggling to get a good night’s sleep, you might want to consider adding more omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. Studies have shown that they can improve sleep quality and duration.
Omega-3s are present in fish, nuts, and seeds. They help to regulate the body’s production of melatonin, a key hormone that promotes sleep. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
If you’re interested in trying omega-3 fatty acids for improved sleep, talk to your registered dietitian to see if they might be right for you.
Reduce risk of asthma
A new study has found that omega-3 fatty acids may help to reduce the risk of asthma. The study looked at a group of children who had been diagnosed with asthma and a group of children who did not have the condition. (4)
The researchers found that the children who did not have asthma were more likely to have higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in their blood. They also found that the children with asthma were more likely to have lower levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. The study’s lead author said that the findings suggest that these fatty acids could help to protect against asthma.
