Chances are, you've heard of Omega-3 or fish oil before. But do you really know what it does?

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), Omega-3 is a type of fatty acid that includes EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

These two play a vital role in keeping the body healthy:

  • Heart health: EPA and DHA help reduce triglycerides, lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Inflammation: They combat chronic inflammation, which has been linked to arthritis, depression, and other long-term conditions
  • Overall wellbeing: Studies suggest Omega-3 may also support brain function and eye health
     

Naturally, Omega-3 can be found in certain food we eat

This includes fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel, or in plant-based foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts.

The problem? Most Malaysians don't eat enough of these foods to get the recommended amount. Think about it, the roti canai, nasi lemak, and maggi goreng we usually eat doesn't help the cause.

Besides that, busy schedules, affordability, and limited access often make it difficult to consistently include Omega-3 rich meals in our diet.

That's where Blackmores comes in to help
