How to Supply Correctly
Since your body doesn’t produce Omega 3, you need to add it to your diet in order to have a great health.
One way to get Omega 3 is to make sure you add fish and seafood to your diet (check the safe fish list from my last article entitled “Your tuna is hiding a deadly secret”).
But to be completely safe mercury poisoning, you can supplement with Fish oil or…
Add plant based foods rich with Omega 3.
I’m talking about…
Flaxseed: The Overlooked Superfood
It’s one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega 3 fatty acids.
Just 1 tablespoon (1,597 milligrams) of grounded flaxseeds represents 39% of the daily recommended value of Omega 3.
So, you are ONLY
3 tablespoons away from having a radiant head to toe health.

Tips for Including Flaxseeds in Your Diet
What’s amazing about flaxseeds is that baking has no effect on Omega 3 fatty acids.
So you can enjoy their benefits without worrying that cooking and backing will destroy its properties.
Here are some ways I include flaxseeds in my diet:
- I add 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to my morning smoothie. Depending on what I want, I mix it with plenty of water or almond/coconut milk.
- I mix in a small bowl, 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, 1 tablespoon of yogurt and a bit of raw honey.
- Sometimes I even bake ground flaxseeds into muffins, cookies, and even to breads.
- I also mix 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with water and use as an egg substitute in certain dishes.
