omega-3
Salmon's healthy fat
Omega-3 refers to a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids considered essential nutrients because the human body cannot produce them.
Found abundantly in fish oil, flaxseed, and walnuts, omega-3s are associated with heart and brain health: My doctor recommended omega-3 supplements.
The name derives from the position of a chemical bond in the fatty acid chain.
