Top Sources for Yer Omega-3


There has been no end to the number of articles being published over the last little while regarding the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. From the heart to the brain, Omega-3 seems as essential to the protection and maintenance of our important organs as other important vitamins and minerals. And while some drug and food administrations are still weighing in on it, most professionals will agree that whether or not to get your daily dose of Omega-3 should be a non-argument.
While the amount that should be taken daily isn’t established by any regulating bodies, some organizations suggest that males get at least 1.5g per day, while females are well off with at least 1.1g. However, some individuals suggest higher levels. Dr. Sears, the author of “The Zone Diet”, suggests a regular intake of 5g per day.
But how does one get the “required” amount of Omega-3’s into their diet? Here is a list of the top sources of Omega-3 fatty acids:

  • Flaxseeds or Flaxseed oil supplements (2tbl/3.51g)
  • Fatty fish or fish oil supplements (ex. salmon or cod liver) (4oz/2.09g)
  • Walnuts (0.25 cup/2.27g)
  • Boiled cauliflower (1cup/0.21g)
  • Soybeans (1cup/1.03g)
  • Steamed broccoli (1cup/0.2g)
  • Omega-3 fortified eggs
  • Omega-3 fortified bread
  • Loads of other omega-3 fortified foods at the grocery store
