Detailed explanation-1: -What makes omega-3 fats special? They are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body and affect the function of the cell receptors in these membranes. They provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Omega-6 fats, which we get mainly from vegetable oils, are also beneficial. They lower harmful LDL cholesterol and boost protective HDL. They help keep blood sugar in check by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Yet these fats don’t enjoy the same sunny reputation as omega-3 fats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only the pure EPA type of fish oil has been shown to not raise LDL cholesterol. Omega-3 supplements may have health benefits other than for the heart. Some people experience relief from arthritis pain and depression, and it may have a role in decreasing inflammation.
