A lack of Omega-3 in the body can lead to various health issues, making it essential to include Omega-3-rich foods in the diet or take supplements if needed.
According to Dr. Kirill Proshaev, a specialist in geriatrics, Omega-3 deficiency may cause:
- Hair loss and dry skin in both men and women.
- Increased cravings for sweets due to the body’s need for quick energy replacement.
- Fatigue, as the body struggles with metabolism without essential fats.
- Higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, as Omega-3 supports cholesterol metabolism, improves circulation, and regulates blood pressure.
To boost Omega-3 levels, experts recommend consuming foods like fish, spinach, lentils, cod liver, and flaxseeds or taking high-quality supplements in the correct dosage.
