Fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, can significantly affect cholesterol.
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can reduce blood triglycerides and inflammation, which may lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that the body needs to build cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D. High cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis and heart and brain attacks.
Omega-3 fatty acids can raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), which is beneficial for heart health.
Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for lowering cholesterol and promoting heart health.
