Can Omega-3 fats make your bones stronger?
Researchers have found that concentrations of omega-3 fats were associated with positive bone mineral densities. They evaluated bone health and then measured concentrations of fatty acids in a group of men between the ages of 16 and 22 over 8 years. They found that DHA contributed to better total bone densities as well as positive changes in the spine. DHA is available in supplement form if you do not get enough in your diet. We like the Nordic Naturals brand for its purity. Carlson’s is quite good as well.
