Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0has been in the news a lot lately because more studies are being conducted regarding the health benefits.\u00a0Omega-3s<\/a>\u00a0are\u00a0fatty acids<\/a>\u00a0that give our bodies many health benefits including decreasing bouts of depression, improving blood circulation, and decreasing pain and discomfort from\u00a0arthritis<\/a>. There has been some research that has shown that\u00a0omega-3s<\/a>\u00a0can be important in brain development and may even play a role in fighting off cognitive decline, and behavioral problems. Americans usually do not get enough fish in their diets, so they do not receive enough\u00a0omega-3<\/a>\u00a0either.<\/p>\n

Omega-3s<\/a>\u00a0that have been classified as polyunsaturated or \u201cgood fat\u201d are especially good for cardiovascular health. How do you get\u00a0omega-3s<\/a>\u00a0into your diet?<\/p>\n

Certain fish are high in\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0such as salmon, herring, halibut and tuna. These fish are called, \u201cfatty fish\u201d and are really good sources of\u00a0omega-3<\/a>\u00a0nutrition.<\/p>\n

Dark, leafy green vegetables such as kale and spinach are also high in omega-3. Vegetables such as winter squash also contain omega-3.<\/p>\n

You can also cook with omega-3 by using oils that are polyunsaturated fats such as olive oil, canola oil and peanut oil.<\/p>\n

Have you heard about flaxseed yet? Yes, seeds can contain Omega-3. You can find flaxseed in oil form to use in preparing meals. You can also use them whole on salads and in your cereal. You can actually find flaxseed cereal in health-food stores.<\/p>\n

Food is an excellent source of Omega-3 nutrition but you can also get the benefits of Omega-3 from\u00a0supplements<\/a>, also called fish-oil pills. These pills or capsules contain a daily dose of omega-3 in easy to swallow form. You can find them online or in health-food stores and also many drugstores nationwide.<\/p>\n

When choosing omega-3\u00a0supplements<\/a>\u00a0look for\u00a0DHA<\/a>\u00a0and EPA.\u00a0Supplements<\/a>\u00a0that contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA<\/a>), which are long-chain omega-3s that are found in fatty fish (remember those?) are also found in organ meats. Short-chain omega-3s such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA<\/a>). These short-chain omega-3s are found in flaxseed oil, leafy green vegetables and nuts. These short-chain omega-3s can be converted in the body to\u00a0DHA<\/a>\u00a0and EPA, but only to a certain extent.<\/p>\n

When looking for Omega-3\u00a0supplements<\/a>\u00a0ask your health care provider for recommendation or seek supplements from a company that you trust and have researched. Always check the expiration date before buying, and make sure to refrigerate the oil to keep it from going rancid.<\/p>\n
