so today I want to talk about all the things that could happen to you if

you’re deficient in omega-3 fatty acids now typically when people think omega-3

they think fatty fish and that is absolutely true

like salmon or sardines very very good sources of omega-3 but when you consume

a fish that’s not very fatty like cod fish you’re not going to get a lot of

omega-3 when you eat the meat but if you have cod liver oil okay which is a

concentration of oil in their liver you’re gonna get a real good source of

omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamin A and vitamin D so if we compare the cod

liver oil to even salmon you’re also getting additional benefit of vitamin A

and vitamin D so I do recommend that two to three times a week you consume fatty

fish or do some cod liver oil or seafood to get your omega-3 because if you’re

deficient in omega-3 these are the 15 things that could happen to you you can

develop rough scaly skin okay you can also develop dry skin as well as

dermatitis which is kind of a general name for an inflammation of the skin and

that can be Zima - all the way to psoriasis and everything in between if

someone has dermatitis and they take omega-3 fatty acids usually you see a

nice improvement where off the bat dry eyes could be another symptom dry hair

age-related macular degeneration arrhythmias arrhythmias can develop from

an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency fatty liver so you would think that consuming

a fat that’s what this is would make the liver worse but no it actually makes it

better especially if you’re doing the right type of fat hypertension so an

omega-3 fatty acid deficiency could increase the risk of hypertension also

can increase the risk of angina as chest pain and an actual heart disease loss of

memory dementia inflammation it could increase your risk of getting

inflammation also muda sore like depression and even anxiety

increasing your risk for getting allergies and ADHD so you can see the

vital importance of omega-3 on the brain on the heart on the skin and on the eyes
