Omega-3s

An “essential” fatty acid, which means it’s critical for our health but cannot be manufactured by our bodies. Omega-3 fatty acids can assist in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, boost your immune system, and improve your cell’s response to insulin, neurotransmitters and other messengers. They also help the repair process when your cells are damaged. Good sources of omega-3s include coldwater fish (wild caught), flaxseed, and walnuts.
