14. Decreased risk of blood clots
Omega-3 fatty acids help in keeping our hearts pumping blood and oxygen to our organs. However, omega-3s also help our blood make it to its destination by keeping our arteries and veins clear of clots.
The formation of blood clots can be fatal if undetected. Omega-3 fatty acids, in supplement form or otherwise, can prevent platelets from clumping up and forming clots. This significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
