Reduce fat in liver
A healthy liver is essential for good health, and omega-3 fatty acids can help keep it healthy. There are two primary types of omega-3s: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA is found mostly in fish, while DHA is found mostly in algae. Both EPA and DHA are necessary for good health.
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce fat in the liver by helping to break down triglycerides. Triglycerides build up in the liver and lead to serious health problems. They also reduce inflammation, which can damage the liver.
Improve joint health
The human body needs omega-3 fatty acids to maintain good joint health. Studies have proven that they can help to reduce inflammation and improve joint health. In one study, people with arthritis who took fish oil supplements had less pain and stiffness than others. They may also help to protect the joints from further damage. (5)
If you are interested in taking omega-3 supplements to improve your joint health, talk to your doctor first. These supplements are available in capsule form or as an ingredient in some foods.
