good nutrition needn't be expensive
Omega-3 fats are a type of unsaturated fat known to have powerful health benefits. Omega-3 fats are found predominantly in deep sea fish such as salmon, tuna and snapper and have been shown to reduce blood pressure, triglycerides and inflammation in the body.
Ideally, you should be aiming for at least 2-3 serves of oily fish a week to receive the health benefits associated with a high intake of omega-3 fats.
Try adding tinned tuna, salmon or sardines to your sandwiches a couple of times a week and aim for at least one serve of fish for dinner every week to increase your intake of essential fats. Fish oil capsules are a great substitution as they also contain omega-3 fats if you prefer not to eat fish.
