Do you take omega 3 oils ? Or do you eats foods rich in omega 3 . There are countless benefits to the use of omega 3 . The medicinal benefits extend beyond cardiovascular disease.
There are ways to measure if you have enough mega 3 in your diet. It is a simple blood tests that most laboratories can perform. I use Boston Heart which is a specialty lab, but Quest Labs does an Omega 3 ( EPA + DHA) index report. The omega 3 index is associated with a high risk of cardiovasclar disease. You can measure not only the index but the omega 6/ omega 3 ratio, arachidonic acid and EPA.
There are food sources for omega 3. Many fish as salmon, mackerel, sardines, bluefish and scallops have omega 3. The oils that contain omega 3 are walnut, soybean, flac, canola, cod livcer, cod liver and olive oil. The nuts and seeds that contain good omega 3 are walnuts and pecans. Soybeans also contain omega 3
Please take your omega 3
Until tomorrow…
