The Omega-3 phenomenon

Abstract: Potential health benefits associated wiyh omega-3 fatty acids, what some consider to be the "missing link" in humas nutrition, are examined in this text from the Prevention Book Club. Health problems which omega-3 fatty acids may treat and/or prevent include heart disease, cancer, arthritis, skin and bowel disorders, tinnitus, hypo- and hypertension, immune and allergic disorders, aging symptoms, and behavioral problems, among others. A comprehensive mega-omega supplement program, emphasizing fish oils and linseed oil, is recommended for correcting nutritional imbalances due to a lack of omega-3 fatty acids. Special omega diets and recipes are provided for gourmets, vegetarians, mothers and infants, weight reduction, allergy prevention, and increased longevity.
