Omega-3

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Overview

The University of Maryland's Medical Center has created an endless list of what omega-3's can do for you and your body.

Fish & nuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and not only can it improve overall health but when taken in moderation can help fight:

• high cholesterol
• high blood pressure
• diabetes
• heart disease
• arthritis
• depression
• macular degeneration
• menstrual pain
• breast cancer
• colon cancer
• prostate cancer

This is not an exhaustive list by any means but also keep in mind that omega 3's are not a miracle drug, they are simply unsaturated fatty acids that may improve overall health and well being.
