Do fish oil and omega-3 supplements have a proven health benefit?

While the government has advised us all to eat two portions of fish a week, including one of oily fish, the fact is most of us just don't get enough. Nutrition surveys show that two thirds of us rarely have oily fish and average intakes are half the recommended portion of 140 g. Teenagers do even worse with fewer than one in ten eating oily fish regularly. So, what can we do to get more omega-3s into our diets and how can these fats support our well-being?
