Foods Rich In Omega-3 Fatty Acids



                                                              


Commentary:

The following foods are considered good natural sources of Omega-3:

      Salmon
      White tuna
      White fish
      Halibut
      Crab
      Scallops
      Shrimp
      Nuts: Cashews, almonds, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts
      Flaxseeds
      Squash
      Collard greens
      Kale
      Brussels sprouts

      
Note:        
              I consume a lot of nuts.  I love them.  I might add that another good source
of
Omega-3 fatty are peanuts and "natural" peanut butter.  Do not eat the brands of
peanut butter that consist of "hydrogenated" unsaturated fats.  This process of
hydrogenation keeps the product solid on the shelf.  These fats are considered
trans-fats and not good for your heart.  Buy the peanut butter that you have to stir
and place it in the refrigerator.  Doc
