Be Nutritious

"Omega 3 fatty acids found in oily fish such as salmon, sardines, tuna and mackerel prevent heart disease and stroke, premature births and even reverse the effects of cystic fibrosis."

British researchers claimed that omega-3 is critical for healthy development and general function, and may help in treating children with dyslexia and behavioral difficulties. Onega-3 fatty acids may slow down the enzymes that destroy cartilage in arthritic joints.

A diet high in certain nuts (such as walnuts) and plants such as soybeans and dark-green leafy vegetables, flaxseed and canola oils contain the shorter-chain alphalinolenic acid (ALA). Also a variety of oily fish at least twice a week, preferably from younger fish to negate toxic leaching, will increase weekly doses of essential omegas.

Most western diets are too high in omega-6 fatty acids in the form of oils such as sunflower that can undermine Omeg-3's benefits.
