The Power of Omega-3 for Your Heart and Brain
Your body needs a combined 250 mg of EPA and DHA to support normal heart and brain function. Unfortunately, it can’t produce these essential Omega-3 fatty acids on its own.
So, how do you get them? There are two main ways:
- Through plant-based sources like flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, and soybeans.
- Through direct sources like fresh fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, herring, anchovies).
The Problems with Both Methods
The challenge with plant-based sources is that they are highly inefficient. They contain a precursor called ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid), but your body can only convert a very small portion of it into the EPA and DHA you actually need.
And what about fresh fatty fish? It comes with two significant drawbacks:
-
Most people don't eat enough. In the Netherlands alone, about 70% of the population fails to meet the recommended guideline of eating fresh fatty fish once a week.¹
-
Unwanted contaminants. Fresh fish can contain harmful elements like heavy metals (mercury), dioxins, PCBs, and microplastics.
