10. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that are critical for brain function, heart health, and reducing inflammation in your body. These fats can be found in fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, as well as in supplements.
Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in brain function and development, as well as reducing inflammation in your body. These fats have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency can include poor memory, fatigue, and dry skin. However, high doses of omega-3 supplements can cause stomach upset and diarrhea in some individuals.
When selecting an omega-3 supplement, look for a product that contains at least 1000mg of EPA and DHA, the two main types of omega-3s found in supplements. It is important to note that omega-3 supplements can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners and aspirin. Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen. (11)
