Omega-3’s to treat inflammation?

Have you known that omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties such as those of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory non-prescription drugs? What is the common thing between aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen? They all inhibit the production of inflammation-inducing enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2). Well, the same is valid for omega-3. So, if you want to protect you body from inflammation or fight with already existing such condition eat more omega-3 rich fish (like salmon, tuna) and take extra fish oil and flax seed oil.
