Omega-3s are the good fats (yes, there are good fats!). These fats protect against cardiovascular disease; they lower blood pressure, reduce arterial inflammation, and help the heart to beat at a steady rhythm. If you are wondering how to get more Omega-3s in your diet, consider salmon. A 3.5-ounce fillet of wild-caught Alaskan salmon has 1400 mg of omega-3s. That is 560% of your daily need!
Note: If you don't like salmon (I have raised my hand here!) try striped bass (800 mg) or rainbow trout (600 mg). If you don't like fish (I don't), try nuts. There are many nuts and plant foods high in omega-3s.
