Studies link the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, antioxidants to fruits, vegetables and herbs, with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease and a longer lifespan.
Many studies support the beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health.
Furthermore, many scientific studies link various health-threatening risks to the excessive consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids. People today consume a lot of omega-6 fatty acids, but not enough omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids of the type EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are found in abundance in the fat of fish and some marine mammals, as well as in the algae they feed on.
