==The benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids are==
* Omega-3 has been shown to decrease triglyceride and cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure.
*It thwarts atherosclerosis by inhibiting the development of plague and blood clots that clog arteries.
*Omega-3 is not only good for the heart but also for the skin? But to put it plainly it does makes sense since the heart is the pumping center of the body, so if the heart is healthy, the other organs would simply be healthy as well. If the heart is pumping healthy blood surely, it provides healthy blood all throughout the body. It has been believed that Omega-3 prevents the drying of the skin and even helps solve your problem of [[eczema]] and [[psoriasis]].
* Scientists have discovered that when cancer cells are subjected to omega-3, cancer cell apoptosis (self-destruction) increases. Omega-3 also inhibits an anti-inflammatory enzyme that advances breast cancer, and activates two genes—BRCA1 and BRC2 (breast cancer genes 1 and 2)—that help prevent cancer development.
