Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid found in polyunsaturated fat, the good family of fats.
A healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats may reduce the risk of heart disease.

The most important components of omega-3 are known as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). DHA supports the normal development of the brain, eyes and nerves.

Omega-3 is easy to incorporate into your daily routine with the following delicious and nutritious sources:

• Food enriched with omega-3 (margarine, cheese, yogourt, milk, eggs, bread)
• Food with naturally occurring omega-3 such as fish, including salmon, fresh tuna, herring, mackerel and sardines
• Ground flaxseed and flaxseed oil, canola oil, soybean oil
• Cod liver oil supplements
