Scientific proof exists that Omega-3 fatty acids help keep blood vessels flexible

Studies show us that omega-3 fatty acids encourage arterial elasticity, and promote good blood vessel function, playing a role in making our arteries more healthy, elastic and flexible, rather than stiff.

As published this month, in the Journal of Nutrition, a new study showed that arterial function was better when the omega-3 fatty acid EPA was added to a high fat meal.

In another recent study of 52 people, those who took 3 grams of fish oil capsules per day, had arteries that were more elastic than those who took the placebo.
