Understanding Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Their Origins
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that play a crucial role in various bodily functions. These fats evolved to help early sea creatures turn sunlight into energy and thrive in cold waters. While ALA is found in plants and DHA is abundant in oily fish like salmon, both are vital for eye health and brain function. The flexible nature of omega-3s makes them crucial for fast-swimming fish and various organisms' adaptations to changing climates.
