**Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids that the human body cannot produce on its own. Therefore, it should be consumed as food from outside. It has many basic functions in the human body. Regular consumption is very important for health as it cannot be stored. It has a positive effect on the development of the nervous system, cardiovascular system and immune system.**
**The benefits of omega 3 can help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke at best. From healthy oils to eggs and peanut butter, Omega 3 fatty acids are everywhere regardless of the food they contain. You can also make these naturally, including salmon and tuna.**

  ## What are omega-3 fatty acids? <h2>

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in the fat layer of cold-water fish and crustaceans, vegetable and nut oils, English walnuts, flax seeds, algae oils and flavored foods. You can also take omega-3s as supplements. The sources of these fatty acids in foods and supplements differ in shape and content.
There are different types of omega-3s:
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)
Although your body is not very efficient, it can convert ALA to DHA and EPA (only about 15% of plant-based ALA can be converted into DHA and EPA in the body). For this reason, many dietitians recommend getting DHA and EPA from supplements.
