While the fad of vitamins and supplements seems like fairly recent addition to our health consciousness, there have been several nutritional elements that have been on the radar for decades. One such element is Omega 3, which is a fatty acid that is purported to have some serious heart health benefits. These benefits were first conjectured when the Inuit community was studied for their lack of heart disease.

The confusion to scientists was that the Inuits consumed a very high fat diet but still remained relatively free of heart disease. They began testing the elements in their food that might have been responsible for this finding, and they discovered this Omega 3. As such, their benefits are said to include increased positive cholesterol, prevention of clotting, diminished Alzheimer’s effects, and more.
