Sponsored: Omega 3 options
My doctor has recommended that I get more omega 3's in my diet but I don't like fish. What are some other options?
While seafood and fish are some of the best sources, you can get omega 3's from other foods. Some of the best sources are chia seeds, flax seeds (ground), walnuts, plant oils (flaxseed oil, canola oil, soybean oil), algal oil, as well as foods that have been fortified with omega 3's like eggs (from chickens fed feed rich in omega 3's), milk, yogurt and juices. Grass-fed beef is often touted for having higher omega-3 amounts but it is not considered a good source compared to seafood or fish.
I'd like to put in a pitch that you try some different types of seafood...salmon, tuna, oysters, sardines...there are so many and they can be prepared and consumed in different ways.
