What impact does Omega 3 have on my health?
EPA and DHA, the omega-3s your Omega Index measures, contribute to the normal function of the heart, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function, with a daily intake of 250 mg. EPA and DHA are also building blocks for resolvins and protectins, compounds your body uses in its natural inflammation response. Seafood is the most direct food source of both.
How the Index Ranges Affect Your Health
The index is typically divided into three primary health risk zones:
- Optimal Range (8% to 12%): This is the ultimate target zone. Individuals in this range have the lowest risk of sudden cardiac death and display better overall brain and joint function. This level is common in countries with high-fish diets, such as Japan.
- Intermediate Range (4% to 8%): This indicates moderate health protection. You are getting some omega-3s, but your tissues are not fully saturated.
- High-Risk Range (Below 4%): This represents a severe deficiency. Research indicates that individuals in this zone face up to a 90% higher risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those in the optimal range. Unfortunately, due to Western dietary patterns, nearly 89% of the U.S. population falls into this high-risk category.
