Improve Eye Health
DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is a key structural component of your retina. Vision problems might happen if you don't receive enough DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown in several studies to help reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in the United States, affecting more than 10 million people. According to one study, persons who consume the most omega-3 fatty acids in their diet are 30% less likely to develop macular degeneration than their peers.
Omega-3 fatty acids may also help to lower the risk of glaucoma, which is caused by high eye pressure. Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition in which your eyes don't produce enough tears. Omega-3 fatty acids can help prevent and treat it. Itching, burning, and redness are all signs of dry eye.
