I've heard that there are a number of health benefits to eating a diet high in omega-3s. What are they?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human health and nutrition because they help reduce inflammation, support heart health, and protect against cognitive decline. They also have anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are particularly important because they contain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These two fatty acids are thought to be responsible for most of the health benefits associated with consuming omega-3s.
