Omega-3s<\/a> are polyunsaturated fatty acids renowned for their anti-inflammatory effects. Omega-3s are particularly important to men because they play an integral role in regulating cholesterol, blood clotting and inflammation. Throughout 4-5 million years of evolution, diets were abundant in seafood and other sources of omega-3 long chain fatty acids (EPA & DHA), but relatively low in omega-6 seed oils. Most men today consume too many omega-6 fatty acids, such as vegetable oils, which contribute to inflammation and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is important to balance omega-6 fats with an adequate amount of omega-3 fats. You can either reduce omega-6s or increase the amount of omega-3s. The most common plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids are nuts and seeds, flaxseeds and walnuts having the highest content.<\/p>\n
