Omega-3 fatty acids, including ALA, EPA, and DHA, support heart health and reduce inflammation and are found in fatty fish, nuts, and seeds.
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, enhancing immune function and potentially lowering heart disease risk.
Combining omega-3s and vitamin E may improve insulin resistance and cholesterol levels, but research on this combination is limited.
Caution is necessary when taking these supplements together, especially for individuals on blood thinners due to increased bleeding risks.
Nutritionist Rimas Geiga advises using healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil while avoiding partially hydrogenated and soybean oils.
