Benefits of omega-3 evidenced from the Eskimos in the Arctic. Almost none of them fatal heart attack. In fact, they generally only consume marine animals. The secret is in their food, although slight variations but rich in omega-3 fats such as seals, whales and other fish. Marine animals that eat fish and plankton that stores of omega-3 in the cell membrane.
Consumption of these fatty acids make the cell walls of the Eskimos remain elastic and the blood remains liquid so it can survive in very cold weather and preserved from all the heart and blood vessel disease. Therefore, the scientists recommend eating fish at least twice a week.
