Omega-3 essential fatty acids are excellent preventive and restorative agents that provide many health benefits if consumed on a regular basis.
Establishing the right balance of omega-3 fatty acids ("good" fats) is key to improving and maintaining a healthy body. But, because omega-3 cannot be produced by the body, it is necessary to eat foods rich in these "good fats".
Unfortunately, changes in diet over the past 150 years have led to an increasing consumption of '"bad" fats, especially in the Western Hemisphere, resulting in greater incidences of chronic disease and ill health.
