Foods With Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3's are polyunsaturated fatty acids, which cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained from external sources.

Due to the numerous health benefits derived from omega 3 fats, you should ensure that your diet contains a sufficient amount of omega 3's.

The best sources for omega 3 are:

* Cold water fish, such as salmon
* Flaxseeds and
* Walnuts

Current recommendations for intake of omega 3 fatty acids are about
7 - 11 g per week.

Below you find a list of nutrition's containing omega 3 fatty acids. The best sources are found at the beginning of the list.

* Cold water fish, such as salmon
* Flaxseeds and
* Walnuts
* Dried cloves
* Boiled cauliflower
* Mustard seeds
* Boiled Cabbage

* Broccoli
* Romaine lettuce
* Spinach
* Halibut
* Dried oregano
* Tofu
* Brussel sprouts
* Green beans
* Scallops
* Tuna
* Mackerel
* Cod
* Shrimps
* Sardines
* Strawberries
* Turnip greens
* Pumpkin seeds
* Sesame seeds
* Snapper
* Soybeans

To complement the lack of omega 3's, I also use nutritional supplements. Some people will tell you that you should use omega 3 pills on a daily basis without any interruption. I don't agree with this, I think, if you have a healthy and balanced diet, there is no need to take omega 3 pills 365 days a year. I usually take omega 3 supplements for a full month and then I take a break of about 3 month before I start taking omega 3 pills again for one month and so on.

Now, when you take omega 3 supplements, it is important to use only a high quality product. The problem with most omega 3 supplements is that the concentration of omega 3 fatty acids is very low and most of these supplements contain only omega 3 fatty acids, but no omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, which are equally important - these kinds of products are worthless, don't waste your money on them.

For the last 2 years I used an omega 3 supplement called: Hypercet Omega 3-6-9 and I have to say this is probably the best omega 3 supplement I found so far.

Every now and then, they also do some special offers where you get one bottle and they give you one for free. Here is the website, if you would like to check out this supplement: Hypercet Omega 3-6-9 Supplement Details
