Why Omega-3 Fat is Good for You and How to Include it in Your Diet

Why it's a Good Thing
Studies have shown that getting enough omega-3 can significantly impact our chances of developing deadly diseases. Recent research has indicated that the intake of sufficient levels of omega-3 may reduce the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer.

Additionally, according to FatsForHealth.com (a Web site devoted to news and resources about essential fatty acids), omega-3 can even help treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, and immune system dysfunction, among other health issues.

Size up Your Seafood
Here are the omega-3 values of some of the most commonly-consumed oil-rich fish. (This chart indicates amount of omega-3s/g per 100g.)*:

  • Tuna (fresh or frozen) 1.6
  • Salmon 2.3
  • Anchovy 1.4
  • Sardines 2.2
  • Crab 1.2
  • Shrimp (boiled) 0.8

With "bad" fats we've learned to avoid the higher numbers.

When it comes to fat, calories, and percent-of-calories-from fat, less is definitely more. But with omega-3 essential fatty acid, more is more. The higher the omega-3 content, the better.

Go Fishing in the Frozen Foods Aisle
There are many ways to work seafood into your diet aside from dining out or being lucky enough to live on the beach! Your local grocer probably stocks plenty of refrigerated seafood and many of these items are quite easy to prepare by simply boiling or broiling them Gary Winnick .

Be on the look-out for modified recipes for dishes like shrimp with fettucine. Experiment with new herbs, spices, and fat-free sauces if you get bored.
