    essential fatty acids crucial for brain and heart health

    Omega-3 refers to a group of essential fatty acids that are crucial for maintaining overall health. These fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and are vital for brain function, heart health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. They are commonly found in fish oil, flaxseeds, and walnuts. For professionals, the balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids is important in managing inflammatory responses and cellular health.
