Are you one of these people? Omega 3 is a very essential nutrient and needs to be included in every ones diet, but many are lacking it. It is very vital for the development of both your heart as well as your brain.Omega 3 is a fatty acid that has been put through thousands of clinical trials and has been proven to be important for protecting you against many diseases. If you've already had a heart disease, or fall in the high risk group, it is very important for you to take omega 3 regularly.You can get omega 3 fatty acids by eating oily fish like salmon, tuna, halibut or taking supplements. It is a myth that fish oil supplements stink. Puncturing the capsules, may definitely give you a putrid smell.

The gel caps have gone bad.Two of the omega 3 ingredients we really need are the DHA and the EPA found in fish oil. ALA is the third essential omega 3 acid, which is found in flax seed oil.

As I was going through the supermarket last week, checking out the cans of tuna, I began to get confused again. Some of the cans of tuna on the shelves were packed in water while others were packed in oil. What was the reason behind packing them in two different ways? When I was a small child, we ate tuna packed in oil. We would open the can, squeeze as much as we could out, then hold the can under running water to try and rinse the oil off. I also remember it tasted better than the water packed we eventually started eating once family members started having cholesterol and triglyceride problems. I remember that tuna packed in oil tasted far better than the one packed in water. But we switched over to the latter, after the elders in the family started having cholesterol and triglyceride problems. I started thinking how omega 3 is found in fatty fish and fatty fish have more oil in them. So is this oil loaded with omega 3?I bought some cans of oil based tuna to eat for lunch the next day. it reminded me of the lovely childhood taste. I read the label to check its contents. It read the same as the water packed. It contained 2 servings of omega 3 at .01 gram each. I was astonished....more
