    People everywhere are aware of the importance of omega-3 fats. These essential fats are considered to be vital for metabolism in the human body. Fatty acids like EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid); DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (α-linolenic acid) have been concluded as being the three major forms of omega-3 fats. These fats have proven to be highly helpful in relieving muscle inflammation within the body.

    The problem with Omega-3 fats is that your body can't synthesize them. Hence these fats have to be consumed through food sources like fish, nuts and dairy etc. Regular intake of omega-3s can help boost immunity, balancing brain function and heart health. These fatty acids also provide other benefits like improved vision, stronger joints and a clear skin.

    Dieticians and health experts have recommended consuming a thousand milligrams of DHA along with EPA every day.
