This week's contributor is Natasha McKay, SOUTHERNATURE Naturopath & Herbalist. DID you know the Omega 3 fatty acids are "essential"?

Omega 3 from fish oil has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and assisting the maintenance of healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
