A Brief Overview of Omega-3 and its Importance

Omega-3 fatty acids, popularly known as omega-3s, are polyunsaturated fats that are of prime importance for the proper functioning of the body. Omega-3s are essential nutrients but our body doesn't produce enough of them. We need to consume them from various sources such as diet and supplements, including hair and skin tablets. To understand omega-3, let's first understand what fatty acids are.

Scientifically, fatty acids are chain-like chemical molecules that are made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms with carbon being the main atom and the other two being the latched ones. There are two types of fatty acids, namely saturated and unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats further break down into polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats and are considered good for heart health, when consumed in moderation. Saturated fats are unhealthy as they don't break down and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids, namely EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). The first two are marine Omega-3, as found in fish whereas the last one is found in plants. Every type of Omega-3 is crucial for human health, especially heart, eyes and brain. Its importance is mentioned below in detail.

• Improves heart health

Omega-3s reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat and the level of triglycerides which are harmful fats in the blood. They also increase the level of good cholesterol and shield the heart from cardiovascular diseases.

• Crucial for brain health

This is highly essential for brain development and maintaining cognitive functions, especially when we age. It also reduces the risk of depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's and other similar problems.

• Vital for eye health

This is highly important for eye development and good and healthy vision if given to infants in proper dosage. It is also observed to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and inflammation in the eyes that causes dryness and other eye problems.

• Good for overall body health

Its anti-inflammatory properties help in reducing inflammation throughout the body. It helps in reducing joint pain, improving bone density and insulin sensitivity, promoting fat burning and preventing certain cancers. It's effective in hair growth too.
