 A big fish in a small pond: Omega Fatty Acids

Posted by Staff on Thursday, February 27, 2025

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

The idiom known as a big fish in a small pond explains a person who is important or powerful within a small group, but not necessarily known in a larger population.  This is a good example of our local officials or citizens versus the Hollywood famous.  

Recent science has identified a benefit with omega-fatty acids such as those found in fish.  The study was completed in a smaller pond of individuals.  The evidence was in a small pond of individuals over the age of 70 years.  

Some fish and marine life contain omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).  Omega-3 fatty acids are considered to be the good fats with benefits for your eyes, brain and heart health.  Previous studies have shown a beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing the progression of cognitive decline. The omega-3 fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is found in plants.
