Essential Sources
* It is still always better to derive your omega 3 fatty acids from natural food sources instead of supplements.
* The best sources of DHA and EPA are anchovies, bluefish, wild salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, sturgeon, tuna, and lake trout. Having fish in your weekly diet at least twice is recommended.
* ALA, on the other hand, can be derived from walnuts, flax and flaxseed oil, olive oil, soybean oil, and canola oil.
* Keep in mind that some sources of omega 3 fatty acids, like oils and nuts, while being beneficial to your health in some ways, should still be taken in moderation because they are high in calories too.
