Plant Omega 3 protecting our heart

A study done with heart failure patient ( 905 patients followed during more than 2 years) showed that the patients with high level of Alpha-linoleic acid had a better prognosis and 39% reduction in the risk. Alpha-linoleic acid is find mainly in plants like flax seed (illustration), chia, walnuts or cnaola oil. This study will need to be completed as the dietary data were not collected except the one regarding Alpha-linoleic acid. We will need also to assess the impact of other factors like genetics, environment or microbiome.
