Doctors have found replacements for foods high in omega-3s. In particular, fish, seafood and olive oil.
This is due to the fact that recently doctors have serious concerns about the content of mercury and other toxic substances in fish.
What can be replaced?
In addition, seafood, good fatty fish and olive oil are not the cheapest products, they are not available to everyone. At the same time, our bodies need unsaturated fatty acids for normal brain function, good vision, and maintaining healthy hair and skin.
To make up for the lack of this substance, it is not necessary to spend a huge amount of money - the products listed above can be easily replaced ordinary algae. In addition to the fact that they contain Omega-3, they contain antioxidants, carotenoids, vitamins, essential amino acids.
According to scientists, it is thanks to the algae that fish eat that they contain so much Omega-3. Algae has the same effect as the expensive fish oil supplements, red salmon. Another convenience is that today they can be purchased in a form convenient for use: capsules, drops.
Inexpensive Omega-3 Products
In addition, you can supplement your diet with the following foods rich in this component:
- pumpkin and flaxseeds or oil based on them (it is very tasty to add them to various salads, using instead of the usual vegetable oil);
- vegetables and herbs, especially a lot of Omega-3 in cabbage, mint, parsley, spinach - they are recommended to be consumed fresh;
- pumpkin and legumes (especially a lot of Omega-3 in red beans) should also be included in the diet.
It is advisable to consume at least 800-1000 mg of Omega-3 per day.
It is important to note that in 2018 it became known that children, whose diet contains a large amount of Omega-3, behave calmer than other peers, and more easily concentrate on their studies. This suggests that this substance helps to preserve the nervous system of both the children themselves and their parents.
