Omega - 3 Benefits explained

Its another research review: So thanks for the feedback on Omega-3 info. I did get some questions about what Omega-3's are used for. 

Tonight we're looking at a few studies First is Migraines:

In this study with 182 adults who experienced migraines the high omega-3 and high omega-3/low omega-6 diets decreased the number of headache hours participants experienced per day and the number of headache days experienced per month.  Dietary alteration of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids for headache reduction in adults with migraine: randomized controlled trial | The BMJ

Omega-3's have also shown benefits in depression and mood. In this study a double blind RCT with 430 outpatients supplementing 1050 mg of EPA and 150 mg of dha provided improvements in clinical and self reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. The improvements were comparable of antidepressant drugs!   The Efficacy of Omega-3 Supplementation for Major Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial | Psychiatrist.com

Aging is another important one for Omega-3's. Telomeres are a protection buffer for aging DNA and a general aging marker.  The double-blind randomized controlled trial involved 106 adults between the ages of 40 and 85 years who were sedentary and overweight. Supplementation of both 1.25 grames or 2.5 grams of Omega-3 FA were associated with longer telomere length! This suggest Omega-3's could slow aging! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S088915911200431X

Another bit of research is in Cancer. In this study done in mice:  Fats with the least saturation (meaning the most double bonds) were most effective, with the omega-3 fat DHA demonstrating the most cancer-fighting ability. However, this result only occurred in cancer cells with an acidic pH compared to a neutral pH. Mice that received the fish oil supplementation lost harmful white adipose tissue but gained metabolically beneficial brown adipose tissue, improving whole-body metabolism. The fish oil diet delayed cancer growth and increased survival, and this effect was magnified by the addition of a ferroptosis-inducing drug.
