Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that is essential for the body but cannot be produced in the body and must be taken from the outside. Yeditepe University Hospitals Internal Medicine specialists say that omega-3 deficiency is tried to be eliminated with supplements taken from the outside because there is not enough fish consumption in our country. They also gave important information about omega-3.
How Should Omega-3 be Used?
Experts say that 2,500 and 3,000 mg of Omega-3 per day is enough to meet the body's needs. Omega-3 is not a vitamin pill, it is fish oil. Therefore, it is produced purely on tablets. The omega-3 pill should be consumed on a full stomach, in the morning, or the evening. Two important points here are that omega-3 drugs on the market can have different amounts of DHA and EPA content. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are abbreviated names for omega-3 fatty acids. The amount of EPA in the omega-3 pill is at least 900 mg, which is important to reduce the risk of heart and vascular diseases. When buying, it is necessary to carefully look at the total dose and the EPA ratio in its content.”
Recommended For all Age Groups
Omega-3 is recommended for teens, children, and all age groups. Since fish consumption is not sufficient in our country, there is no harm in using it unless there is a special side effect.
Benefits of Omega-3
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease: Omega-3s are particularly effective at lowering the height of triglyceride, a type of fat found in the blood, and increasing HDL levels, which is commonly called good cholesterol. Therefore, it can also have a positive effect on reducing the risks related to cardiovascular diseases.
Protective against cancer: In addition to heart health, omega-3 protects against cancer, helps regulate blood sugar, strengthens the immune system, and strengthens the brain, retina, sperm, and skin cells.
Good for depression: Omega-3 increases attention and concentration in adult people. It supports depression treatment and is even thought to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Increases body resistance: Omega-3, which has many benefits for the musculoskeletal system, supports the accumulation of calcium in the bones and plays an important role in reducing the activity of enzymes that can cause arthritis. Yeditepe University Hospitals Internal Medicine Specialists stated that it can also reduce age-related developing yellow spot damage in the eyes. It is also very useful for women in the menopause period.
