Taking fish oil may be the best nutritional step toward reducing your chance of heart disease. Fish oil contains special essential fatty oils known as omega-3 fatty acids--essential because the body cannot make them.

Although flaxseed and other foods contain one type of omega-3, alpha linoleic acid (ALA), fish oil furnishes two additional and very important omega-3s: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
