This write up does not describe it, but there are three main forms of Omega-3 fats, ALA, EPA, and DHA. ALA is from plants like flaxseed. EPA is from animals (fish) and algae sources, as is DHA.

Our bodies can make a small amount of EPA and DHA from plant sources, and it can make DHA from EPA (plant, animal, or algae). However, this paper is describing how our bodies become incapable of creating any DHA by 60 years of age. We can still get it from DHA sources, however.

Some amount of our older age issues appears to come from this missing step.

Be sure to get DHA in higher quantities as you age.

Sorry about the cut down version provided above, but I have to trim to 300 words.

I’m eating a Poke Bowl with salmon and tuna right now.

DHA is good for babies brains too.
