Default Omega-3

I feel like everywhere I turn people are telling me to eat Omega-3. I
know fish is high in Omega-3, but yuck! Can't deal fish. Are there any
other foods that I wouldn't know about that contain omega-3, so I can
add it to my diet?

check out nuts (walnuts) and flaxseed.


from what i understand, it's specifically raw nuts. also,
flaxseed oil can be added to a variety low cal/carb dishes to
help you feel full(er).

I think that flaxseed itself is relatively low in carbs, also.


It is. My package of flaxseeds lists the carb content as 11 grams but when
you subtract the fiber content of 9 you get a net carb count of 2 carbs per
serving.

That's quite impressively low.


I thought so as well when I first noticed it. :-)

The Vegetarian Society's website has pretty good information on
non-fish Omega 3 sources: a

A supplement (I like greens+) might be your best bet. Note the
difference between animal and plant sources of 03:

Although eating (sufficent) plant sources of Omega3 should (in theory)
have the same benefits, I believe most (all) of the studies showing
benefit are based on 03 extraction from fish.

----
What is the difference between plant- and animal-source omega-3s?
At the core of both plant- and animal-source omega-3s is a cluster of
molecules called LNA. This alpha-linolenic acid is a long-chain fatty
acid that comes mainly from plant foods like walnuts, flaxseed, and
green leafy vegetables. When your body absorbs fats containing LNA,
enzymes convert some of it into longer, more highly polyunsaturated
omega-3s called EPA and DHA. These desirable omega-3s are more
beneficial to your health, but your body needs about ten LNAs to make
one EPA. Fish, on the other hand, contains little LNA, but is rich in
EPA and DHA. Eating fish simply means that your body doesn’t have to
work so hard converting fatty acids. Fish is your most accessible and
concentrated source of EicosaPentaeonic Acid and DocosaHexaeonic Acid.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Always remember omega-3 fats are essential to your, and your
children's, health. The best source for omega-3 is fish oil and cod
liver oil, as, unlike other sources such as walnuts or flax seeds, it
is high in two fatty acids crucial to human health, DHA and EPA. These
two fatty acids are pivotal in preventing heart disease, cancer, and
many other diseases. The human brain is also highly dependent on DHA -
low DHA levels have been linked to depression, schizophrenia, memory
loss, and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Hi Rich,

You do need an Omega 3 supplement. I distribute a brillant product..
there is no aftertaste and it will get your omega 3 balance up to where
it should be.

Go to www.a1-loseweightnow.com/shoponline for more information.

Good luck
