Fish Oil Fast Fact #184: Getting Behind Omega 3 Cardiovascular Health
So you’ve been hearing for years that omega 3 fatty acids are good for your heart, but do you really know why? If you’re like most people (including me), then you probably have or had some vague notion that omega 3‘s make your heart more resilient to heart attacks (which is true) but you may not have had a firm handle on the specifics. When you get down to “brass tacks,” there is a whole lot more going on with omega-3 related heart health than just fending off cardiovascular arrest later in life.
Turns out, omega 3s are good for every inch of the miles of arteries and veins in your cardiovascular systems. They do not just fight heart attacks; they also lower cholesterol and triglyceride counts in addition to helping control your LDL levels (that’s “bad” cholesterol) and your blood pressure. So even if you do not have a history of heart problems in your family, getting enough omega 3 is still vitally important to many other aspects of heart and full-body health.
Getting enough omega 3 fatty acids now can add years to your life later, so don’t delay starting a full-on assault on poor health through an omega 3 fatty acid supplement.
