Healthy Omega-3

Research into Omega-3 began in earnest the 1970s when a group of Danish researchers documented the diets of the Inuit people of Greenland and ‘discovered’ omega-3 fatty acids – in both their diets and their blood.

Often referred to as ‘essential oils’ or ‘essential fatty acids’ Omega-3s are widely recognised as a vital part of a healthy diet. But what exactly are Omega-3 Oils and why are they so important?

The name and chemical structure of Omega describes a wide range of fatty acids. Most have been the subject of detailed scientific research. As for years and years, scientists have sought to learn more about the nutrients that are essential in helping human bodies function.
