Not taking omega-3 supplements could be detrimental to one's healthFatty acid supplements have been linked to a variety of benefits, including cardiovascular health, aerobic capacity and other improvements to the body’s ability to function.

While the positive sides have been frequently researched, scientists at Harvard School of Public Health wanted to find out how not taking the supplements was affecting people’s lives and health outcomes.

As part of a study that included 12 lifestyle factors, they found that it was the sixth leading cause of preventable death, with up to 96,000 mortalities that could have been avoided.

While not supplementing with fatty acids could be a cause for concern, limiting other high-risk factors could also increase longevity.

Smoking cessation was the most effective way of increasing longevity, with 500,000 deaths that may have been avoided.

Other positive lifestyle changes that increase life expectancy include reducing blood pressure and obesity, reducing salt intake, and increasing one’s exercise plans.

The study demonstrates the need for "increasing consumer awareness about the drastic Omega-3 EPA/DHA deficiency in the Western diet," says Lori Covert, Ocean Nutrition Canada vice president, marketing and communications.ADNFCR-2035-ID-19237363-ADNFCR
