Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential for cell membrane functioning and to control the cholesterol balance.<\/span><\/div>\r\n

They lower\u00a0 heart rate, inflammation, clotting\u00a0 risk triglycerides (an unhealthy fat in the blood) and blood pressure.\r\nResearch shows people who regularly consume fish (the best source of omega-3) tend to have lower rates of heart disease and stroke, Parkins<\/span>on's\u00a0 and Alzheimer's disease.<\/span><\/div>\r\n

<\/div>\r\n

The Heart Foundation recommends including two to three serves of fish\u00a0 as well as one gram of plant-sourced omega-3 fats each day such as walnuts, linseed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, tofu, leafy greens and vegetable oils such as canola and soybean.<\/span><\/div>\r\n

Omega-3 fatty acid found in plants is not as effective as the types found in marine sources. Also the u<\/span>se nuts and seeds ,<\/span> oils and margarine spreads made from olive, sunflower, canola and safflower oils in cooking and on sandwiches and toast instead of butter.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/div>","link":"https:\/\/peterdarcy.com.au\/tag\/omega-3\/","name":"Omega 3","slug":"omega-3","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nOmega 3 Archives | Peter D'Arcy
