BENEFITS OF FISH OIL


Everyone definitely heard of fish oil. When we mention about fish oil, the keyword that come into our mind is Omega 3. Omega 3 contains 2 important fatty acids, namely; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Regular consumption of these healthy fats (of course with healthy lifestyle) can help to prevent chronic diseases that are link to the body’s inflammatory processes. Both EPA and DHA have shown wonderful anti-inflammatory properties.

Studies also have shown that diet rich in fish oil help to protect against cognitive decline.
