The North American diet is low in omega-3s, therefore rendering the majority of the population omega-3 deficient. So, for optimal health and well-being, supplementation is recommended. A deficiency or imbalance of omega-3 drives inflammation and increases the chance for health issues. Omega-3 fats are required for optimal cellular processes, maintaining the membranes\u2019 integrity and function, and producing a balance of hormones that control virtually all body processes.<\/pee>[\/et_pb_fullwidth_code][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ prev_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″

Omega-3s for full-body health<\/h2>\n

Omega-3 fatty acids are integral to our health and well-being, and are an essential component of every cell in our body. Research has proven that an adequate amount of omega-3 is necessary for the overall health of the brain, skin, and joints. As you establish your health routine this season, consider adding omega-3s from fish oil into your supplement regimen.<\/p>\n

Omegas for healthy mood and brain function<\/h2>\n

Omega-3 fatty acids help balance stress hormones while regulating cortisol. New research reveals that people who are capable of resisting physical and emotional stress have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n

Omega-3s are crucial components of all cell membranes, including those in the central nervous system. Therefore, omegas play a vital role in the development, function, and regulation of the brain, neurological processes, cognition, and mood.<\/p>\n

Consuming plenty of omega-3 fatty acids may offer robust protection against depression. A large Norwegian study of nearly 22,000 participants<\/strong> revealed that those who regularly consumed omega-3 fatty acids were about 30% less likely to have symptoms of depression<\/strong> than those who did not. The longer the participants took omega-3, the less likely they were to have high levels of depression.<\/p>\n

Other data suggests that boosting omega-3 fatty acid intake increases attention and reduces an aggressive stress response, probably by enhancing cognitive processes. An increased intake of omega-3 is associated with a larger volume of grey matter, a brain area controlling emotion and mood, and implicated in depression. In studies, omega-3 supplements offer various stress-reducing benefits, including easing feelings of distress, depression, and anxiety; improving memory, happiness, focus and relaxation; and calming inflammation throughout the body, including in the brain. Most busy and active individuals will benefit from at least 1500 mg of omega-3 to help reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and neurotransmitter production (increasing serotonin our \u201chappy\u201d hormone and boosting the brain).<\/p>\n

People who better resist physical and emotional stress levels show high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Omega-3 for kids<\/h2>\n

Though the bulk of a child\u2019s neurological connections and pathways are laid down by age 3, the brain remains a work in progress until late adolescence. Throughout those critical years of development, omega-3 fatty acids are vital to feed brain function; improve learning, memory, focus, and concentration; and boost heart, joint, and skin health.<\/p>\n

Have you had your omega-3s today?<\/h2>\n

Fish oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA and DHA are found in cold water, oily fish. SeaRich\u00ae<\/sup> Omega-3 is an award-winning, high-quality omega-3 made from anchovy, sardines, and\/or mackerel. One delicious spoonful per day will help meet your omega-3 needs. Have you had your omega-3s today?<\/p>\n
