OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS AND HEALTH BENEFITS

Abstract

Couple in chains of unsaturated fatty acids bonds and some functional groups. Unsaturated fatty acids According to the number of bonds are examined in four groups. Omega-3 is very important for other groups. Because of that The essential fatty acid omega-3 fatty acid is metabolized in the body in the form of EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA accelerate the development of brain, nervous system and eye in infants, slow the development of rheumatoid arthritis in adults, decrease high blood triglyceride values, prevent cardiac arrhythmias, increase the survival rate after infarction long chain fatty acids that reduce clotting, prevent arteriosclerosis, reduce blood pressure and slow Alzheimer's disease and DHA is a key component of all cell membranes and is found in abundance in the brain and retina. Lower blood pressure.Reduce triglycerides, Slow the development of plaque in the arteries, Reduce the chance of abnormal heart rhythm, Reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.
