EPA
EPA stands for eicosapentaenoic acid, which our body uses to create signaling molecules known as eicosanoids. These molecules work to reduce inflammation and play different physiological roles. Scientific studies indicate that fish oil which has a high content of EPA and DHA, may help in reducing depression symptoms. EPA is high in eel, salmon, herring, and sturgeon. Additionally, dairy products and meats also contain some level of EPA.
DHA
DHA is an abbreviation for docosahexaenoic acid, which is an integral structural component of retinas and skin. DHA deficiency in the early stages of life is linked with many health problems like ADHD, learning disability, aggressive hostility, etc. The deficiency of DHA is often associated with impaired brain function and a more severe disease like Alzheimer
Consuming a sufficient amount of DHA is known to have a positive impact on health conditions, including high blood pressure, arthritis, certain cancers and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, it can help in reducing blood triglycerides and LDL cholesterol particles, thereby improving heart health.
