Omega 3 and the heart:
Omega 3 fatty acids assist the heart function in a number of different ways, including reducing the amount of fat in the blood, reducing the stickiness of blood cells (platelets), reducing the deposits of fats in the arteries, making the blood vessels more elastic and assisting in the normal function of the heart. Omega 3 and arthritis:
Omega 3 acids inhibit the biochemical pathway in cells that trigger an inflammatory reaction, thus reducing stiffness and pain. They may also be beneficial in treating symptoms of lupus, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory diseases. DHA and pregnancy:
DHA in a mother's diet is essential for a baby's development. DHA in pregnancy can prevent high blood pressure, increase birth weight and reduce the risk of developing the post natal blues.

What is Omega 3?:
There are three Omega 3 fatty acids: a-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaeonic acid (DHA). ALA is found in selected vegetable oils while EPA and DHA are found in fish and fish oils. These fish oils – Omega 3 fatty acids, are taken from deep sea, cold water fish (such as salmon and mackerel) and are essential in the healthy diet. These fatty acids are the building blocks of the human brain, nervous system and eyes and are considered essential to a healthy heart.
History of Omega 3:
Omega 3 fatty acids first came to prominence in the 1970’s when scientists found that Greenland Eskimos had a high intake of Omega 3 fats and a low incidence of western diseases, including heart disease. Since then, scientists have realised these fatty acids are very important to the health of our hearts, in reducing the severity of inflammation in people with arthritis and for the health of pregnant women and children.
