Omega 3 fatty acids are considered essential fat for our bodies. Although this fat is essential, our bodies do not produce these acids on its on own, so we must consume foods with omega 3 fatty acids in order to reap the benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. They have also become very popular because they may reduce the risk of heart disease.
I personally enjoy salmon and try to have it for dinner at least twice a week. Salmon is very tasty and with all the omega 3 fatty acids that it is loaded with, salmon is a very healthy entree. I challenge everyone to add salmon to their diet to help their overall health.
