27 Health Benefits of Omega-3s

Seafood, particularly oysters, are our specialty here at Tucker's Shuckers! One of the great things about seafood is the fact that it contains Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have many different health benefits. Here are just a few of them from WebMd.com and GreenMedInfo.com!

Where to Get Omega-3 Fatty Acids


Whenever possible, try to get Omega-3 fatty acids from actual foods, rather than supplements. You should aim to eat fish high in DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids 2-3 times per week. Here are some menu items we offer that contain Omega-3 fatty acids: 
  • Glazed Salmon
  • Corona Fish & Chips
  • Tuna Steak Sandwich
  • Seared Ahi Tuna
  • ...and any of our Oyster Items! 

Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids


1. Omega-3 fatty acids can lower elevated cholesterol triglyceride levels, lowering the risk of heart disease. 

2. Omega-3 fatty acids can curb stiffness and joint pain. They also seem to boost the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs. 

3. Some researchers have found that those who eat foods with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids have lower levels of depression. 

4. Omega-3 fatty acids appear to be of importance for visual and neurological development in infants. 

5. A diet high in Omega-3 fatty acids lowers inflammation, which is a key component in asthma. 

6. Some studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the symptoms of ADHD in some children and improve their mental skills, such as thinking, remembering and learning. More research is still needed and Omega-3s should not be used as a primary treatment. 

7. Some research suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids may help protect against Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

8. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce total mortality and sudden death in patients who have already had a heart attack. 

9. Consuming small quantities of fish is associated with a reduction in coronary heart disease. 

10. Omega-3 fatty acids have a significant therapeutic effect on children with autism. 

11. The consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids decreases homocysteine levels in diabetic patients. 

12. Omega-3 fatty acids improve macro- and microvascular function in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

13. Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acid intake reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and total mortality in diabetic women. 

14. Omega-3 fatty acid consumption is inversely associated with incidence of hypertension. 

15. The consumption of fish reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in men and elderly individuals. 

16. A moderate intake of Omega-3 fatty acids may postpone cognitive decline in elderly men. 

17. Omega-3 fatty acids may have a therapeutic effect on postpartum depression. 

18. Omega-3 fatty acids may have a therapeutic value in the treatment of dry eye syndrome. 

19. Omega-3 fatty acids prevent and reverse insulin resistance. 

20. Omega-3 fatty acids prevent the formation of urinary calcium oxalate stone formation. 

21. Omega-3 fatty acids may contribute to the prevention of early preterm birth in both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. 

22. Fish consumption is associated with a 63% reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality. 

23. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the severity of autoimmune disorders. 

24. Cod reduces the need for NSAIDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 

25. Diets containing Omega-3 fatty acids have an inhibitory effect on breast cancer growth and metastasis. 

26. Diets containing Omega-3 fatty acids may protect smokers against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 

27. Higher intake of Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of pneumonia. 

Omega-3 fatty acids have many health benefits from mental and behavioral health to preventing premature death from disease, including: coronary heart disease and stroke, ADHD, Crohn's disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer, general brain function, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
