  Omega 3 Reduce Inflammation And Help Chronic Diseases 
 
 
  Omega 3(Omega-3) is also known as Fatty Acids. Omega-3, derived from ALA (alpha-linolenic  acid) is described as essential as, like vitamins, it must be obtained from  diet. According to the human nutrition, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic  acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are considered much more valuable as these  are the forms the body requires. 
 
 
  Humans are able to synthesise EPA and DHA from dietary ALA, but in practice this  process is inefficient. Scientists have therefore accomplished that EPA and DHA  should be obtained from diet. Oil-rich fish and supplements such as fish oil and  cod liver oil are the richest and most eagerly available sources. Other sources  such as krill and fortified everyday foods like bread and fruit juices are in  production in a slight way in various parts of the world.
 
 
  Extensive research indicates that  Omega 3 fatty acids are considered essential  fatty acids, which means that they are essential to human health but cannot be  manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained  from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish and certain plant oils. It  is important to maintain an appropriate balance of omega-3 and omega-6 (another  essential fatty acid) in the diet as these two substances work together to  promote health. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 and  omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal  growth and development. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent  certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. These essential  fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly  important for cognitive and behavioral function. In fact, infants who do not get  enough omega-3 fatty acids from their mothers during pregnancy are at risk for  developing vision and nerve problems.
