Omega 3's

Do Omega 3's Raise LDL?








Hi everyone!  I was recently asked this question, "Does Omega 3 Fish Oil raise your LDL cholesterol?"  I really like this answer from Livestrong.com.  

Please note that even though they may slightly raise your LDL they have a beneficial effect on the LDL and the oxidation of those particles inside the blood. 



Enjoy!

Another great way to get your Omega 3's from fish






Hi everyone- I have a quick tip for today.  Looking for a way to increase your servings of fish per week?  I just tried the packaged pink salmon in the tuna fish section of the grocery store.  It is the type that comes single serving and is vaccuum packed in the bag, not in a can.  It was wonderful and easy to easy to use!  I used it the same way I would use canned tuna.  It  tasted similar to tuna fish sandwich, yet without all the mercury and with all the Omega 3's!  I strongly recommend it!   Enjoy!

Seared Arctic Char with Broccolini, Olives and Garlic


Here is a recipe I found on Epicurious.com using Arctic Char, an ecofriendly fish that is just as nutritious as salmon, but doesn't taste as fishy.  This is great for children and adults who do not care for the fishy taste of salmon.
Arctic Char is a wonderful source of Omega 3 fatty acids, just like salmon. 
This type of fish can be hard to find- you may want to ask for it at your seafood counter if they do not have it.  


Serving size:  2  (double it as necessary if you are feeding a family of 3 or 4)

OH, OH Omega 3, me?

Thinking about getting some Omega 3's?  If not maybe you should be!!  Especially since they may help your mood this winter, if you are prone to seasonal affective disorder.
 
Why take them?  Most of us don't get enough Omega 3's in our diet.  Our bodies can't make it- we need to get it from other sources.  Many of us don't each much fish at all, which are a huge provider of Omega 3's. 
 
Omega 3's have been shown to decrease inflammation in so many different ways throughout the body.
