Listen Later

Today we’re talking about Omega-3, and we’re going to talk about its discovery, its health benefits, Omega-3 deficiency and how that’s a problem, how it works in the body, and what to look for in an Omega-3 supplement. Studies have shown taking Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of developing coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. It can help decrease symptoms of depression and helps people who suffer from bipolar disorder, and has even been shown to raise a young child’s IQ by more than 3.5 points. It has even been shown to reduce deterioration of the brain in the elderly, such as dementia and Alzheimers. Omega-3 can reduce the pain that women experience with PMS and can improve an individual’s focus when they struggle with ADHD.
