Essential Tips
* While fish are the best sources of omega 3 fatty acids, you should also be aware that some types of fish have contaminants in them and should be avoided, especially by children and pregnant women. Wild swordfish, tilefish, and shark are likely to have high levels of mercury and other toxins. Contaminants may also be present in farm-raised fish. If you do want to have these fish in your diet, a maximum of 7 ounces a week is safe.
* Free-range poultry and beef are also great sources of omega 3 fatty acids, and are better choices than the grain-fed variety.
* It always wise to consult with your doctor, especially with regards to taking supplements. Depending on your overall health condition, he would be the best person to recommend the correct daily dosage for you. This is especially important for children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.
