Weekly Health Tip: Omega-3 Fatty Acids

According to the American Dietetic Association, one in three adults has some form of cardiovascular disease. One way to reduce your chances of heart disease is to eat more Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
Here are some tips from the ADA on incorporating these into your daily meals:
  • Look for cooking oils that have omega-3 fat, such as:
    • Canola Oil
    • Soybean Oil
    • Flaxseed Oil
    • Walnut Oil
  • Eat two 4-ounce portions of fatty fish each week, such as:
    • Salmon
    • Albacore Tuna
    • Mackerel
    • Sardines
  • If you already have some heart disease, consider taking fish oil supplements.
