Why Aren’t We Getting the Recommended Amount of Omega-3s?
One could easily get the recommended amount of omega-3s by including several fatty fish servings every week.
However, most people aren’t practicing this. They avoid seafood because they dislike its smell, texture, or taste, according to Valerie Agyeman RD, a nutritionist.
Other people don’t get it because they don’t know how to prepare seafood. Supplements like fish oil can help if you’re not the biggest seafood lover out there or if you need a little boost.
What Happens If You Take Omega-3 Fish Oil Every Day?
Present in every cell in the body, omega-3s work hard to ensure we stay healthy.
If you consume fish oil rich in omega-3s daily for three months, here are the potential health benefits you’ll reap:
Lower risk of heart attacks
Omega-3s lower the blood pressure and triglyceride levels and may avert blood clots associated with heart attacks.
A 2021 meta-analysis of 40 clinical trials concluded that people who took DHA/EPA supplements had a 13% lower risk of a heart attack. Those who did were also 35% less likely to die.
The brain is around 60% fat and 10% to 20% of this fat is DHA. In the brain, this fat strengthens the delicate membranes that preserve our brain cells.
This makes omega 3s essential for the short- and long-term cognitive health. According to observational studies, people with diets richer in omega-3s have a lower likelihood of cognitive decline.
Limited data also suggests that supplementation with omega-3s may have positive effects.
Lower risk of depression
