Transcript

00:00Should you take fish oil capsules or eat more fish?

00:03Let's uncover the truth about omega-3 and cholesterol.

00:07Cholesterol impacts blood flow through arteries, and omega-3 fats play a role.

00:13Best omega-3 comes from food, fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and plant sources like walnuts and chia seeds.

00:20Omega-3 won't magically lower LDL cholesterol, but it reduces triglycerides, supports heart rhythm, and lowers inflammation.

00:29Fish oil capsules can help if triglycerides are high or if you don't eat fish.

00:34Not everyone needs them.

00:36Check with your doctor before taking supplements.

00:38The right dose depends on your health and medications.

00:42The truth is simple.

00:43Start with food.

00:44Use fish oil supplements only if necessary.

00:47Small choices make a difference.
