In addition to lowering your cholesterol, keeping your brain healthy and improving mental health, new research from the University of Georgia suggests omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may help ward off a variety of cancers.
Participants with higher levels of omega-3s had lower rates of colon, stomach and lung cancer, in addition to lower rates of other digestive tract cancers. Importantly, the benefits of high levels of fatty acids were not dependent on other risk factors like BMI, alcohol use or physical activity.Known as"healthy fats," omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for human health. They're present in fatty fish, nuts and even some plant oils such as canola oil.That's why many individuals turn to fish oil supplements. They're one of the most popular dietary pills on the market and for good reason.
"For women, it's an easy decision: Eat more omega-3," said Kaixiong Ye, corresponding author of the study and an associate professor in UGA's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
