041 How Omega 3 Can Help you Put an End to Chronic PainDr. Furlan Shares Her Expertise

Doctor Furlan explains what are omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. She explains that our body does not produce our own omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids and therefore, we need to acquire them by diet or supplements. The main sources of omega 3 are cold water fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring and sardines. These are available as "fish oils" in pharmacies or health food stores. There is also some omega 3 in shrimps, oysters and lobster. Omega 3 is anti-inflammatory, and omega-6 is pro-inflammatory. 00:00 Introduction 00:42 What is omega-3? 02:35 Why are omega-3 important? 05:26 Omega-3 for chronic pain 07:11 Do we need supplements?
