Omega-3 Fatty Acid Consumption Linked to Better hearts

A Japanese study comparing native Japanese men, American men living in the United States, and Japanese born men living in the United States has found that men with the highest consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, such as that typically seen in the native Japanese diet had far superior (two-fold higher) levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Given pollution concerns that surround many forms of fresh fish, it was recommended that supplementation with 'safe' sources of omega-3 fatty acids is an ideal way to promote cardiovascular health.
