Omega-3 Enhanced Foods Provide Significant Health Benefits

July 20, 2011: RECENT STUDIES SHOW OMEGA-3 ENHANCED FOODS PROVIDE ARRAY OF SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS
A string of recent studies, including findings featured by Harvard University, The University of Maryland and the American Heart Association, tout the array of health benefits from consumption of recommended amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. These acids are critical to human health and development, but the body can not produce them on its own. These essential acids come solely from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Omega-3 fatty acids can also be found in Organic DHA Omega-3 eggs from Chino Valley Ranchers, and other fortified Omega-3 rich foods. A survey of recent studies found strong evidence that proper dietary levels of Omega-3 fatty acids had a positive health impact in many areas, including lowering the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. Additionally, Omega-3s have been shown to lower the incidence of highhblood pressure and asthma.

Chino Valley Ranchers President Steve Nichols talked about the study, "Our Omega-3 enhanced eggs are from hens raised on a specialized diet." Nichols continued, "While the best and purest way to work Omega-3s into your diet may be by eating certain types of fish, our fortified eggs are viewed by many as more convenient, accessible source of essential fatty acids and the multitude of health benefits that come with them."
