Apparently not all omega 3 essential fatty acids are equal or in one of my most famous quotes, We are all equal but some are more equal than others. Well the one that is ' more equal' is omega 3's obtained from fish oil. I have been taking omega 3's for a while now but from flaxseed. I will be switching soon but the question now is which brand because as we know, some brands are 'more equal than others' I read that Nordic Naturals are quite good but I am not sure if it is sold in SA. I will have to do some checks.
The benefits of omega 3 EFA are as follows. It lowers cholesterol and helps with weight management. It's also considered as brain food because your brain is made up of fat, believe it or not.
Did you know that fatty acids are responsible for the neuronal growth of the frontal cortex of the brain which, it is alleged, is the seat of personal behavior. test done on prisoners in the England and Finland showed a drop in violent behaviour after they were put on a diet high in omega 3's.
