Keeping vessels smooth! The body needs lipids (blood fats) to supply energy. Blood fats include cholesterol, phosphoric lipids or triglycerides, among others. If blood fat levels exceed certain limits, the heart and blood vessels may be damaged as a consequence. Many studies have demonstrated that the intake of a sufficient amount of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA can have a positive impact on blood fat levels. These vital nutrients may make a valuable contribution to normalising blood fat levels. Our body is able to synthesise various fatty acids from dietary fats. One exception is essential fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acids, which must be taken in with food in sufficient quantities. The best source of the vital omega-3 fatty acids is cold-water fish.
