Sport und Omega-3-Fettsäuren

Zusammenfassung

Omega-3-Fettsäuren sind mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren mit der ersten Doppelbindung an der dritten Bindung vom Omega-Ende aus.

Omega-3-Fettsäuren (in der Folge mit Omega-3 abgekürzt) haben vielfältige Effekte auf unsere Gesundheit. Stand 6.12.2021 findet man bei PubMed allein für 2021 über 100 systematische Reviews zu Omega-3-Fettsäuren zu unterschiedlichsten Themen wie entzündliche Darmerkrankungen [1], Depression und Angst [2], kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen (hier nur Effekte bei höheren Dosen) [3], Multiple Sklerose [4] u. v. m., die praktisch alle positive Effekte von Omega-3 ergeben haben.

Abstract

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids with the first double bond at the third bond from the omega end.

Omega-3 fatty acids (hereafter abbreviated to omega-3) have a variety of effects on our health. As of Dec. 6, 2021, more than 100 systematic reviews on omega-3 fatty acids covering a wide variety of topics can be found in PubMed for 2021 alone such as inflammatory bowel disease [1], depression and anxiety [2], cardiovascular diseases (here only effects at higher doses) [3], multiple sclerosis [4], and many more, virtually all of which have shown positive effects of omega-3.
