Healthy Food

By Rob Donner

The classification of foods with omega 3mainly or primarily focuses on two groups, namely fishes and vegetables. With regard to fishes, the fish oil derived from it contains fair to high levels of the omega 3 EFA or essential fatty acid. With regard to vegetables, beans and the green leafy ones are abundant with this essential fatty acid. Daily consumption of these foods is thereby recommended in order to cope up with the body's needs and preferences with regard to omega 3.

Some examples of vegetables that have high amounts of omega 3 include beans, raw broccoli, lettuce, mustard, cauliflower, radish and spinach. Eating these vegetables can provide a portion of the recommended daily allowance for this EFA or essential fatty acid in a daily basis. Typical examples of fishes that are good sources include catfishes, eels, mackerels, anchovies, salmons, sardines, tunas and trout. As with vegetables, eating these fishes can also provide good amounts of the omega 3 EFA.

The main problem with these foods is that people, whether young or old, male or female, tend to ignore it. These people prefer red meat and other processed foods instead of eating vegetables and fishes. As such, they do not get their much needed amount of this essential fatty acid in a daily basis. Good thing for these people since there are now sources of pure omega 3 EFA in the form of tablets and capsules manufactured and developed in order to satisfy all of the cravings, needs, tastes and preferences of people with regard to the omega 3 essential fatty acid as of today.
