The essential fatty acids are important to the human immune system and to the regulation of blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids have shown to play a role in keeping cholesterol levels low, stabilizing arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and reducing the incidence and severity of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. The list of benefits go on and on.
I just wanted to make a quick case today and give you some suggestions of what you can eat so you can get more Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
Common Sources of Omega-3's:
Fish. Atlantic Salmon and other cold water fatty fish (including both Atlantic and Pacific herring, sardines, Atlantic Halibut, bluefish, tuna, and Atlantic mackerel), and lake trout.
Plant. Canola oil, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, almonds, and leafy green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.
Uncommon Sources of Omega-3's:
Cheese. Alpine cheeses from animals that free-graze on high alpine greens.
Meat. Wild-grazing animal meats, such as venison and buffalo.
Enhanced food. Eggs and breads enriched with omega-3 fatty acids.
