Top Ten Super Foods: #1 Omega-3’s

Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fatty acids obtained from a variety of foods, such as cold-water oily fish, flaxseed, walnuts, and canola oil. Because they cannot be synthesized by the body they must be obtained from dietary sources and fall into the category of essential fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids can decrease risk of heart disease and stroke, lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation and decreasing serum triglyceride levels. The American Heart Association recommends eating a variety of oily fish (tuna, salmon, sardines) at least twice a week.
