Omega 3 fatty acids are a class of nutrients that offer many health benefits. Studies have shown that people who eat a diet that is rich in omega 3 fatty acids have a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Salmon, walnuts, flaxseed, shrimp and soybeans are excellent sources for omega 3 fatty acids. People who are not getting enough omega 3 fatty acids in their diet should consider taking a fish oil supplement. A quality fish oil supplement contains at least 300 mg of omega 3 fatty acids per capsule.
