However,What Is The Fuss Over Omega 3?  Articles for those who don’t like fish, Omega 3 can found in the vitamins and supplements aisle in any grocery store and pharmacy.The best way to receive the suggested intake of Omega 3 is through fish or fish oils. It comes in a pill capsule form and should be taken as directed on the bottle - whether it's a 1 a day, or with each meal. By using Omega 3 supplements correctly, you will be taking something natural and effective for your body. It promotes heart health (keeping blood flowing), can help with the functioning of the brain and there's also benefit for those who suffer from aches and pains from arthritis, osteoporosis, or other pains joint pains. Taking Omega 3 with a proper diet will help your entire body’s function and thus giving you a chance to live a healthier, happier (and in the case of those with joint problems, pain free) life.A well known benefit of Omega 3 is the aid provided for those with inflammation and joint pain. There have been countless studies that show Omega 3 is just as effective as prescription drugs and over the counter drugs like Ibuprofen. It's not limited either, this counts for multiple types of pain – from neck pain, back pain, joints, arthritis, and even some tests have shown help with osteoporosis. In addition to helping with the actual pain, Omega 3 is natural and unlike drugs, there aren’t side effects. Those who take drugs for pain run the risk of side effects such as stroke or heart attack. With Omega 3, these concerns don’t exist.Another of the main benefits we often see is the heart. It works by helping the blood flow more easily and more smoothly through the heart (and reducing blood pressure). It helps to keep blood from sticking together thus reducing the risk of heart attacks and it also helps to reduce bad cholesterol. The risk of heart disease is also said to be reduced thus showing that by taking Omega 3, there is a full chain effect of benefit for the healthy heart.It doesn't stop there however! Another important benefit is for babies. Babies that are still in the womb need Omega 3 supplements for brain function and development. And even after birth, it’s been shown that those children who take Omega 3 supplements are less likely to development hyperactivity disorders and also have higher IQ’s. So there are many reasons as to why Omega 3 is not just a joint supplement, but a supplement that is worth investigating - help your heart, mind and joints, all in one!
