Which of the following is listed as a potential benefit of omega-3 fats?

• A. Improve insulin sensitivity
• B. Cause hair loss
• C. Increase blood pressure
• D. Cause immune suppression

Answer: (A)

Omega-3 fats can influence how the body handles insulin by reducing inflammation and supporting cell membrane function that affects insulin signaling. This can lead to improved insulin sensitivity in some people, which is why it’s listed as a potential benefit. The other options aren’t typical benefits: hair loss isn’t something omega-3s are known to prevent or cause in standard guidance; they often have modest blood pressure–lowering effects rather than increasing it; and while they can modulate immune responses, they don’t provide immune suppression as a stated benefit. So, the best choice is that omega-3 fats may improve insulin sensitivity.
