No doubt, researchers are looking at Omega-3 compound with suspicion as far as its efficacy to fight depression is concerned. Still, you have another reason to add it to your daily meal. Actually, in a new study conducted by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, plant-based omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid has been found helpful in preventing bone loss.
Interestingly, this finding seems to be irrefutable because researchers came out with this finding after going through a deep and well-monitored study. The following words of Dr. Rebecca Corwin exhibit the same idea:
The unique thing about this study is that we know exactly what the participants ate because we closely controlled their food.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first study, which has come out transpiring omega-3 good for preventing bone loss since studies conducted earlier have also done the same. However, the latest study has once again re-enlivened this belief. Here is the briefing of previous studies:-
