Omega-3 Fatty Acids - The Healthy Fat You Want to Consume

I recommend Omega-3 fatty acids to all my clients because Omega-3s deliver some big health benefits such as:

·        Helping to reduce inflammation

·        Helping to prevent arthritis

·        Helping to prevent dementia

Good sources of Omega-3s include:

·        2 TB of ground flaxseed (add to salads, cereal or yogurt)

·        3 oz of Wild Atlantic Salmon, Rainbow Trout,  or sardines

·        Omega-3 enriched eggs

·        1-2 TB of walnuts (add to oatmeal or yogurt)

·        ½ cup of cooked soybeans

·        1 TB of canola oil (use in cooking)

Although omega-3 fatty acids have many health benefits, some, like oils and nuts, can be high in calories. Bon Appetit!
