Omega 3 plays an important role in many health functions. Look no further than infant formula that are fortified with component of omega 3 (DHA) for brain health and multitudes of fish oil related products design to promote heart health, and balancing cholesterol.

In addition to the long list of benefits, omega 3 may help sports people to:
1. Squash damaging oxygen by-products generated during intense exercise:
Exercise is a very energy-consuming process. During the effort, many biochemical reactions within our bodies are ramped up to meet this energy demand and damaging variants of oxygen such as hydrogen peroxide and negatively charged oxygen (O2-) may be produced [Link].
Apart from starting the vicious cycle of generating even more damaging variants of oxygen, oxygen by-products results in inflamation – a process of recruit our body defence such as white blood cells, bringing swelling & cell damage which results in issues ranging from fatigue and poorer immunity to ageing and cancer. Omega 3 interferes with some of the inflammatory processes, thus taming damage posed by oxygen by-products [Link].

2. Facilitating muscle recovery:

Omega 3 also boosts positive benefits on building muscle mass. In studies, such as Smith et al (2011) and Smith at al (2015), muscle volume and related function such as grip strength were enhanced.

3. Marshal energy, reducing oxygen requirement and build resistance to tiredness:

Omega 3 also improves the ability to handle nutrient to support energy generation and enhance efficiency of oxygen consumption.

4. Counter lowering of immunity due to exercise:
Due to increase in stress hormone, xcessive or extensive exercise often reduces the immunity. Usage of omega 3 ramps up some of the white blood cells, make the body ready to deal with infection.
5. Mitigate abnormal heart rate and provide protective factors such as lower blood pressure:
The heart is under tremendous strain during exercise and abnormal heart rhythm is always possible. Apart from reducing risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, Omega 3 reduces the excitability of the heart, lowering the probability of abnormal heart rate.
6. Decrease joint inflammation due to impact generated during exercise.
Due to omega 3’s ability to interfere inflammation, it may promote benefits such as reduction of pain and lesser need for pain relief medication; these have been proven in some studies such as Zawadki, Janosch & Szechinski (2013).
Omega 3 can be obtained by consuming deep sea fishes, walnuts, chia seeds, soy beans, and flax seed.
