How good are omega-3 fatty acids for my health?

I keep hearing about omega-3 fatty acids and was wondering how good they are for me? what do they help with?|||Omega-3 fatty acids are very important for cardiovascular health and are important parts of a person's diet both during development (in utero as well as childhood), and even maintenance during all stages of life. They used to make up a much larger portions of humans' diet eons ago, but our modern diet has largely replaced them with Omega-6 fatty acids, which , while are also necessary for health, are not a replacement for Omega-3s.
