JILLIAN'S TIP OF THE DAY
Sources of Omega-3s
In addition to being found in fish, omega-3 fatty acids are found in flaxseed, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Like monounsaturated fat, omega-3 fat improves heart health by helping keep cholesterol levels low, but it can also aid in stabilizing an irregular heartbeat and reducing blood pressure. It also acts as a natural blood thinner to reduce the risk of blood clots and strokes. And finally, your brain, which is 60 percent fat, needs omega-3 to function properly. So eat it up, people!
