Gee Ya Think?!

Omega 3 fatty acid belongs to the family of unsaturated fatty acids which are proven to be healthier compared to saturated fats. Omega 3 has been proven to be heart friendly such that regular intakes reduce the risks of primary and secondary heart attacks. Although fish is known to be one of the major sources of omega 3, vegetarian sources such as flax seeds are also available. This omega 3 flax seed contains the optimal 3 to 1 balance of Omega 3s and Omega 6s.

Some studies suggest that omega 3 can also have anti-cancer effects particularly for breast, prostate and colon cancer. Omega 3 helps reduce the tumor growth, reduce the risks of having these types of tumor and increases chances of survival.

Other reported benefits of omega 3 include being helpful in cases of arthritis, cardiac arrhythmias, and even depression.

Aside from fish, other sources of omega 3 include flax, eggs, meat (such as beef, lamb and chicken), milk, cheese, strawberries and broccoli. Flax contains 6 times more omega 3 than that of fish and perhaps is the most widely available botanical source of omega 3. For this very reason people realizing the benefits of omega 3 in their diet tend to go for omega 3 flax seed intake. Flax seeds can be bought by retail, usually per pack but others prefer wholesale flaxseed to have more savings.
