The British Heart Foundation recommends eating oily fish at least once a week and to increase this to two to three portions weekly if you have had a heart attack. Omega-3 intake is also thought to be associated with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A recent study has also shown that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of hip fractures in postmenopausal women. Omega 3-fatty acids are found in concentrated levels in the brain and are believed to improve cognitive functions such as memory and reasoning. For this reason, some experts recommend taking omega as a brain power supplement.According to research, children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) appear to have low levels of essential fatty acids. Some trials suggest omega-3 supplements may benefit these children by helping to improve their concentration and behaviour. A recent study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry* linked low levels of omega-3 to increased levels of anxiety, poor memory and increased hyperactivity in adolescents. More research is needed in this area.
