  1. Omega 3 rich foods – A step towards healthy living Overview Omega 3 foods can help lower your cholesterol, besides many other physiological benefits. Here’s telling you how.

  2. Omega 3 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fats that constitute an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body. There are 3 types of omega 3s: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). They play an integral role in the function of cell receptors in these membranes.

  3. Besides, they provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. Studies have found that consuming omega 3s regularly will help you fight depression. Besides, Omega 3 is directly associated with reduced risk of muscular degeneration. Moreover, it can reduce risk factors for heart diseases, such as high blood pressure, blood clots, plaque, and so on.

  4. What’s more, according to numerous studies, omega 3 supplements can reduce the symptoms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). They have been found to be closely associated with reduced insulin resistance, fighting inflammation, and improving many risk factors for heart diseases. Many autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and psoriasis can be fought with the help of omega 3 fatty acids.

  5. The top 15 omega 3 rich foods include, mackerel, salmon fish oil, cod liver oil, walnuts, chia seeds, herring, wild-caught salmon, ground flaxseeds, tuna, white fish, sardines, hemp seeds, anchovies, natto, and egg yolks. Amongst other natural sources of omega 3 fatty acids foods, are nuts and seeds such as butternuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, hemp seeds, and hazelnuts.

  6. Many vegetables, especially the green leafy ones, are great sources of ALAs. Some of the vegetables that you should definitely include in your diet are Brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, and watercress. Lots of oils also contain omega 3s, usually in the form of ALAs. These include mustard oil, walnut oil and hemp oil.

  7. In today’s times, omega 3s are being artificially added to multiple kinds of processed foods, such as, peanut butter, baby formula, cereal and some protein powders. However, it is still a far better option to derive your omega 3s from whole, real food sources, especially wild-caught seafood. However, if due to any reason you cannot include that in your diet, then you can consider taking supplements. There are several choices when it comes to omega 3 supplements. However, you should exert sufficient caution and also consult your doctor before taking them.
