Savi Seeds, Another Great Source Of Omega 3

As more and more people are getting educated about the health

, the requirement for the sources of omega 3 is growing. Many don't want to take the omega 3 made from fish oil due to the toxic metals that could be present in the oil. They don't even want to eat the cold water oily fish for fear of ingesting mercury. Getting omega 3 in your diet is so important as we learn more ways that this fatty acid aides our bodies in healing and preventing illness to start.

There are a number of ways to get omega 3 apart from fish. Flax seed, English walnuts, canola oil, sunflower seeds, and some plants. If you can eat fish, eating tuna, halibut, salmon, or mackerel two times a week should give you sufficient omega 3.

Another very good source I just came to know of is the "Savi Seeds". They taste and smell like nuts but are seeds in fact. According to the latest researches, they are the richest source of the omega 3 fatty acids in the world. Only one ounce of the savi seeds give you 7000mg of omega 3 fatty acids. That is more than what you can get from a one ounce serving of salmon . Savi seeds also give you 8 grams of protein per one ounce serving. That is more than any other nuts or seeds can give you.

The Savi Seeds are found in Peru. They are the part of a fruit of the sacha inchi plant. The plant produces it's seeds after 18 months of plantation. The fruit of the plant is shaped like a star with the seeds being a brownish color. The seeds are enlarged and found near the edges of the star shape. You can eat these seeds which provide you with the wonderful benefits of omega 3 and protein. It is possible that these seeds have been used by the Inca people for over 3000 years. The plant continues to grow the fruit and has a life span of more than 10 years.

The inhabitants of Amazon have been using these seeds in soups, sauces and different ways. The oil and cooked seeds are very desired items in Peru. A cream made from the seeds is commonly used for moisturizing the skin. In order to eat the seeds, you do not have to crush them or break them open. Just pop one in your mouth for a delicious snack.

The seeds not only contain omega 3, they also contain omega 6 and omega 9 in appropriate proportions. You don't want to have too much omega 6 in your diet but omega 3. We tend to have too much of the omega 6 in our daily diets, the savi seed can help you to maintain a balance between the two omegas.

A one ounce serving of flax seeds contain 6400 mg of omega 3, not quite as much as the savi seeds. They are both very good sources of omega 3. We all require more omega 3 in our diets to help reduce inflammation of joints, help our heart be healthier, reduce our cholesterol, improve our brain health and memory, and also prevent many types of cancer.

It has become our common knowledge that we need to increase the omega 3 and are looking for ways to do that. Lots of options have been available, and now we have found one more.

Why not start today to a better healthier you.
