Omega 3 family is essential for humans.
There are various commercial products from many manufacturers.
But do you have any local foods that you could safely advise to your patients when they ask you about Omega 3 supplement?
I would appreciate if you could share with us.
Thank you. What is the typical use of it? In some parts of the world I know it is spread over bakery. Is there any other consumption method? there is a good resource on Hempseed in wikipedia.
Foods High in Omega 3 Fatty Acids include flaxseed oil, fish oil, chia seeds, walnuts, fish roe (eggs), fatty fish, seafood, soybeans, and spinach.
Thank you Edyta Gheribi.
Can you recommend any traditional Polish recipe that could be appealing for pregnant women who would like to consume more Omega 3 in their diets?
Best regards
Does it need to be from marine sources (e.g. is increasing EPA and DHA, which plant sources won't do effectively in humans).
Linseed oil is a traditional Polish product. Especially recommended is obviously cold pressed. The oil can be used for bread or salads. Another good Polish source are walnuts.
Best regards
I personally use walnut to garnish my meal. I usually crumble walnut (whatever amount you want) and mix it with my rice or noodle. The same is true of other omega 3 rich seeds. This would make the meal more appealing and add more flavor to it as well.
Salad is a great dish to incorporate omega 3 foods. For example, you can use flaxseed oil as your salad dressing. Walnut can serve as garnishment. Fatty fish as the protein food.
Incorporating omega 3 enriched food into the diet can be helpful. Look for eggs, dairy, soy products, etc. that are enriched with omega 3 and replace the non- enriched alternatives.
Very good, Ju Hsin Cheng, thank you very much, that is the type of answer I would like to get for my question. Simple, traditional easy to apply and palatable ways of increasing Omega 3 content. Best regards. Looking forward to hear more from everybody.
