Regina’s pregnant sister is interested in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two essential fatty acids that can be made from alpha-linolenic acid. She has heard that EPA and DHA are important for cancer prevention, brain health, cardiovascular disease prevention, and immune function. Which food is the best source of EPA and DHA?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The best source of EPA and DHA is fatty fish.

Explanation:

EPA and DHA have a large number of benefits for our body, the main source of these acids is in fatty fishes such as tuna, anchovies, or salmon. Also, there is an indirect source of EPA in flaxseed oil, leafy vegetables, and nuts. They do not have EPA, they have ALA, which the body converts into EPA, but only really small quantities can be converted.
