🧡February is Heart Health Month🧡
Did you know Omegas help keep your heart healthy and protect against stroke. They are good for your heart and blood vessels in several ways:
Researched Benefits
Omega-3:
The research is most plentiful for omega-3, with over 8,000 studies published about them, to date. Studies confirm that omega-3 fatty acids:
🧡Support cardiovascular health by improving blood lipids and supporting cardiac longevity
🧡Promote cognitive health in seniors, by alleviating mild memory problems associated with aging
🧡Promote a healthy pregnancy by supporting normal fetal brain and eye development and a healthy birth weight
Omega-6:
Another category of essential fatty acids, omega-6 is the second-most researched group of omegas. Multiple studies have found that omega-6 fatty acids:
🧡Reduce inflammation
🧡Support cardiovascular health by helping maintain lipid levels already within a healthy range
Other Omegas:
This is an area of increasing clinical research. More and more studies are published each year on the benefits of omega-5, 7 and 9, including:
🧡Omega-5 and 7 fatty acids may help with skin health and hair growth, and could help in regulating blood sugar
🧡Omega-5 and 9 fatty acids may help the body effectively respond to inflammation, and play a role in immune response.
One thing that all omegas have in common is that, on average, people typically don’t get enough of these important nutrients in the food that they eat each day. So, how can we change that?
