omega-3s
Healthy fatty acids
Omega-3s are a class of polyunsaturated fatty acids considered essential for human health.
Found abundantly in fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts, they're associated with heart and brain function.
The name refers to the position of a chemical bond.
My doctor told me to eat more omega-3s.
Also omega-3 fatty acids or omega-3 fats.
