Thousands of scientific studies have investigated the actions of omega-3 fatty acids on the body and mind, with an emphasis on the heart, brain, lungs, joints, and immune system. The omega-3s decrease inflammation, the source of many chronic diseases. They thin the blood, helping prevent the blood clots that can cause heart attack and stroke. They slow down heart rate, reducing lifetime stress on the heart. And they make the membranes of brain cells more flexible, aiding cognition.
