Omega-3 fatty acid
Omega-3 fatty acids — also called ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids — are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with a double bond (C=C) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain. The fatty acids have two ends, the carboxylic acid (-COOH) end, which is considered the beginning of the chain, thus "alpha", and the methyl (CH3) end, which is considered the "tail" of the chain, thus "omega". The way in which a fatty acid is named is determined by the location of the first double bond, counted from the methyl end, that is, the omega (ω-) or the n- end.
The three types of omega-3 fatty acids involved in human physiology are α-linolenic acid (ALA) (found in plant oils), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (both commonly found in marine oils). Marine algae and phytoplankton are primary sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Common sources of plant oils containing the omega-3 ALA fatty acid include walnut, edible seeds, clary sage seed oil, algal oil, flaxseed oil, Sacha Inchi oil, Echium oil, and hemp oil, while sources of animal omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids include fish oils, egg oil, squid oils, and krill oil. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids does not appear to affect the risk of death, cancer or heart disease. Furthermore, fish oil supplement studies have failed to support claims of preventing heart attacks or strokes.

Love You Alive
by: Sam HookIf only my tears hit the ground. You came up, instead of going down, if
Only
Just a hug, or a kiss. A handshake, anything, but I'm standing here, and
You're going down.
I'm on hollow ground, there's like a modern lone.
I know I was wrong
All the lone, is the end of our song, and I wish I could turn back the hand
Of time to bring back a friend of mine today.
Well that does fly away, thoughts of you remain.
Still I wish I could love you alive
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I'll send you my heart, my mind, my soul
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive, alive... hmm...
I love you alive
(Time to say goodbye)
Nothing left, just regrets.
My heart aches over everything that I never said
I didn't know, so I didn't show
Now I'm standing here, telling you that I was wrong
But you're gone, It's the end of our song, and I wish I could turn back the
Hand of time to bring back a friend of mine today.
Well that does fly away, thoughts of you remain.
Still I wish I could love you alive
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I'll send you my heart, my mind, my soul
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive... ohh.
If I could love you alive.
Cause no one even thinks that it's logical
It's impossible to love you alive
Cause they think that I'm crazy but they don't know
How far I would go
I give you my heart, my mind, my soul,
And hope that my wish could get to you
I love you alive, alive, alive, mm.
If I could love you alive.
Time to say goodbye
For the people we took for granted
Not knowing time would be so short
We didn't express the way we felt
In fact, we failed
So show our true appreciation
If only I knew
That of all the moments we spent
Only a few, would be remembered through time
Cause in time, memories fade
Life is loss, everything we got would be lost
If you don't lose it, they would lose you
