Fish having a lots of “good” fats!

 (http://nutritiondata.self.com)

Description: Blank-Gray-1-5x6.jpg

 

The omega-3 from fish come in two potent derivatives, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which provide the health benefits. Flaxseed oil (as well as to a much lesser extent walnuts and canola) contains a third, plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). However, the problem is that our body does not metabolize the plant ALA as readily into EPA and DHA. 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil results in an equivalent of only 0.7 g of EPA and DHA.

 

Canola Oils is the healthy choice oil for cooking, since it does not deteriorate at high heat, whereas olive oil is best for low-temperature use in salad dressings and consumption with bread.
