5. Better eye health
DHA-type omega-3s make up a large part of the composition of our retina. If you don’t have adequate DHA intake, you will most likely have vision problems. If you go without DHA for too long, you may end up with permanent eye damage and even blindness later in life! The good thing is that even dietary supplements with omega-3s can make up for the missing DHA from your diet.
6. Reduced risk of allergies
Omega-3s do more for our bodies than we may realize. Not only do they help keep our minds sharp and our bodies healthy, but they also help fight allergies. Those who consume more omega-3s have seen a reduction in the activity of eosinophils, which trigger allergic reactions and inflammation when exposed to pollen and dust. In children, consuming enough omega-3s may help prevent allergies at an early age.
