Sources Of Omega-3 Fats!!!
Have you ever wonder if their was another way of getting omega-3 thru sum other way.
Did you know that there are three distinct types of omega-3 fatty acids:
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
But what if i told you that we can get them another way. For those who do not like the after taste or burped from taking supplements or eating fish. I have here 5 ways you can hit those omega-3 fatty acids.
- Walnuts
You must be thinking walnuts like is this guy crazy.
But in reality Walnuts boast more beneficial omega-3s than to any other nut, providing a whopping 2.5 grams per ounce. Perhaps this is one reason why a Journal of the American Heart Association study decided to specifically include a walnut-rich intervention among other weight-loss-focused dietary interventions.
- Hemp Oil
That's right hemp oil even tho it has a nutty flavor. But this verdant oil can get you high on omega-3 fats. When nutrient-dense hemp seeds (also called hemp hearts) are squeezed, what oozes out is oil laced with about 2 grams of the omega-3 fat ALA.
But just be careful not to overdose on this.
- Flaxseed
This little baby right here does wonders each tablespoon of flaxseed provides nearly 1.5 grams of omega-3 fats. Flaxseed also provides plenty of magnesium, vitamin B-1 (thiamin), manganese, and heart-healthy fiber. And given that a scoop (or three) per day is a simple task, it's easy to rack up omega benefits by fixing flax seed as a staple throughout your day.
- Chia seed
I love this seed the reason for. Containing nearly 5 grams of omega-3 fats in each 1-ounce serving and a hefty amount of hunger-crushing fiber, it's no wonder chia has become a poster child of the health-food movement. And, unlike flax, chia doesn't need to be ground in order to access its nutritional payload.
In conclusion if you don't want to go thru the hassle of buying supplements that gives you that burped flavor or if you are the type of person that does not like eating fish. Here above are 4 ways i found myself to be very useful.
