Today, March 3, marks the first ever Omega-3 Awareness Day. Carol A. Locke, MD, with a team of world-renowned doctors, has spearheaded the movement and claim that the day is needed to help educate both the healthcare profession and the general public about the proven health benefits of this essential nutrient.
William S. Harris, PhD, Professor of Basic Bio-Medical Science and co-founder of the omega-3 index has gone as far to say, "correcting our omega-3 deficiency could be the single most important dietary change we can make"
Seafood, as you may well know, is very high in Omega-3, but which types of fish should you buy that are good for the environment too?
We recommend the following
- Wild Alaskan Salmon
- Arctic Char
- Atlantic Mackerel
- Sardines
- Sablefish/Black Cod
- Oysters
- Mussels
And the list goes on!
So why don't you go ahead and plan your dinner tonight around one of the fish listed above. What better way to recognize Omega-3 Awareness Day?
