If you’ve never heard the term ‘Omega 3’ before, what does it mean?
Omega 3 is a type of fat that is essential to our bodies. It is associated with health benefits. And, since the body cannot produce its own Omega 3 fats, it has to get them from what we eat.
The three main Omega 3 fats are ... decosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). EPA and DHA have been studied extensively as these are associated with many beneficial health outcomes (see below).
