4 Easy Ways To Increase Your Omega-3 Intake

4:16 am Health

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to good health, but their benefits may be missed because our diets are so chock full of omega-6 fatty acids instead. To ensure you get your fill of -3, you’ll need to be conscientious at the grocery store.

Here are 4 ways to get more omega-3: 

Salmon

This fatty fish is exploding with omega-3 and is relatively low in omega-6. It just may be the best omega-3 bang for your buck in the seafood aisle. 

Anchovies and Sardines

Though not everyone’s favourite, these slimy, oily options are other good omega-3 sources. They also tend to be high in sodium, though. 

Crustaceans

Fish isn’t the only kind of seafood that packs an omega-3 wallop. Shrimp, mollusks, and Alaskan king crab are also excellent sources that also won’t load you up with omega-6. 

Omega-3 Supplements from Seal Oil

Seal oil is one of the most healthy ways to increase you Omega-3 intake. Not only are they healthier but seal oil is the only supplement that contains the Omega-3 fatty acid DPA.
