Still don't believe? Omega 3 fatty acids, total mortality and heart di

Have you ever questioned the benefits of omega 3 fat? Even though so much research has been published on the benefits, many people have reservations.

This new study did not rely on self-reported dietary intake, which some of the studies have, but instead used blood tests to measure the levels of different omega 3 fatty acids in the participants (Mozaffarian D. Et al. 2013).

A large sample of 2,692 participants was followed for 16 years. The results documented that both higher individual (EPA, DHA, DPA) and higher total omega 3 fatty acids were associated with lower total mortality and especially lower mortality from coronary heart disease in older adults.

An easy way to raise the levels of both total omega 3 fatty acids as well as EPA, DHA, the individual omega 3 fatty acids, is to take a quality fish oil containing high amounts of EPA, DHA.

Make sure to remember this: fish oil like Better Fish Oil in a triglyceride form provides more benefits than the ethyl ester, which is more common.
