It is very important that you consume enough Omega 3 fatty acids because they play a large role in your physical and mental health. Most people have eating habits that result in them not getting enough Omega 3 fatty acids so there is an imbalance between the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. There are several good ways you can use to increase the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet by adding different foods to your diet.

Fatty fish contains the most Omega 3 fatty acids including sardines, salmon, trout, and herring. They also contain large amounts of Omega 6. Various studies indicate that individuals who consume fish once or twice per week are less likely to develop various diseases and disorders. You can also choose to add fish oil supplements to your daily routine if you don't care to eat so much fish.

Another good source of essential fatty acids is from seeds and nuts. The down side is that they don't offer the proper balance between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Flax seed is a good choice for increasing your intake. Flaxseed oil supplements are a great alternative to taking fish oil supplements.

Most green vegetables contain a variety of essential Omega 3 fatty acids but the amount of them you would have to eat is very high. However, eating them in addition to fish or other foods with Omega 3 and a supplement is a good option. The New Zealand green lipped mussel is a great supplement to try and it is available as either a powder or a lipid extract. To avoid the possibility of an allergic reaction you should try the lipid extract.

Most of use just don't get the right amount of Omega 3 and Omega 6 in our diets so it is necessary to make changes to our diets and to take various supplements including fish oil, flax seed oil, and New Zealand green lipped mussel.
