Body 1    
 

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are considered
essential fatty acids, because the body’s ability to synthesize
them is limited. They are essential to human health, and it is
now recognized that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid) have to be consumed as part of a
normal diet. Fish and fish oils are rich in these long chain
omega-3 fatty acids.

 
Fish and seafood naturally produce this kind of fat because it
helps to keep their cell membranes flexible even when they inhabit very cold water. Omega-3 fatty acids can be derived from other sources—for instance, flaxseed oil—but they must first be metabolized in the body to create EPA and DHA. The necessary conversion process has been demonstrated to be very inefficient,
even in healthy subjects. It is therefore considerably more effective to take in EPA and DHA in the form of omega-3 fatty acids derived from fatty fish rather than from vegetable sources.
