I suddenly feel like everywhere I turn people are encouraging me to eat
more Omega three. Not to be ignorant, but isn't that the thing they
needed to activate on the movie Galaxy Quest that jumps time back 13
seconds? But seriously, I know sardines are high in Omega three, but
yuck! Can't deal with it. Also olives. That sounds good. But what are
the supposed benefits of Omega three and what other ways can I add it to
my diet?
TIA


Take capsules, that's what I do, although I do love peppered mackerel
fillets and roll-mop herrings. You don't need that much for a healthy
lifestyle, and the body can store them, unlike vitamins like vitamin C,
which you need to eat daily for health.

Omega 3's are almost exclusively found in oily fish. That includes
mackerel, herring (including kippers), sardines, sprats, whiting and
salmon. There may be some obscure vegetarian sources I don't know about.
