Essential fatty acids EPA and DHA stand for eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid, and are found in cold water fish. These polyunsaturated fats play an extremely vital role in multiple bodily functions.
EPA and DHA are fundamental nutrients. They may be taken to sustain vigorous functions of various organs and systems. DHA is a structure block of the brain. It aids in the synthesis of neural transmitters, such as phosphatidylserine, which is extremely significant for normal brain function. DHA is also found in the retina of the eye. Taking DHA may be essential in maintaining normal eye function.
EPA and DHA are transformed into hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins normalize cell activity and support vigorous cardiovascular function. Recent studies suggest that low blood levels of EPA may be independent risk factors of developing angina and heart attacks. Omega-3 was found to decrease elevated blood pressure, suppress cholesterol plaque production and lower the chances of developing cardiac arrhythmia.
Adding DHA to a pregnant woman's diet may be priceless for the fetus's brain development. Elderly people should also take EPA and DHA; as one's body becomes older the brain forms less and less of DHA and EPA. This may cause weakened intellectual focus and cognitive function. Taking EPA and DHA may also aid those with Age-Related Memory Decline, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of Dementia.
Multiple studies have found Omega-3 fatty acids to be very helpful in cases of arthritis and various collagen vascular conditions, including Lupus.
Few small studies have also pointed out possible beneficial effects on bronchial asthma.
Several epidemiologic studies have revealed that dietary Omega-3 fatty acids may diminish the risk of developing breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
It has been suggested that effects of Omega-3 fatty acids on inflammation, when supplemented to standard therapy, may be favorable to patients with Crohn's disease.
