You've probably heard of Omega-3s before, but you might not be exactly sure why we need them in our diet. Let us simply break it down for you...
Omega-3s are healthy fats that support heart health, brain function, inflammation control and overall wellbeing. They can be obtained through both animal and plant-based sources, so you don't always have to rely on supplements to get your omega-3s into your day!
Foods rich in omega-3s include fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, oysters, canola oil and soybeans.
Our recommendation to making sure you're getting enough omega-3s is to aim for 2-3 servings of oily fish per week and include some plant based omega-3 foods daily. This can look like sprinkling such as 2-3 teaspoons of chia seeds or flaxseeds to your porridge or yoghurt or cooking with canola oil or soybean oil.
