Oh! Omega-3s

Here are the facts: Omega-3 fatty acids are found in food and are not produced by our bodies. Though not definitive, much research links these acids as contributing to heart health; consumption of fish high in these fatty acids has also been shown to help the risk of death from cardio vascular disease. So how can you add it to your diet? By eating fish like trout and salmon (fatty fish), taking supplements - such as Medifast/Take Shape For Life's Super Omega-3 - using canola cooking oil or eating one ounce of walnuts twice a week (for those in maintenance only).
