Sources of Omega 3

The healthy fat Omega 3 is an essential part of your diet, helping to reduce the risk of heart problems and increase brain activity. Omega 3 sources are not limited to oily fish, however. There are a number of different vegetables that also contain this essential oil, meaning that vegetarians do not have to forgo a necessary part of their diet.

Alternative Omega 3 sources

Whilst oily fish is provides one of the best Omega 3 sources, the following vegetables also contain productive quantities of the fat.

The best non-fish source of omega 3 is raw tofu, with 4oz/115g providing 15% of your RDA (recommended daily allowance). Winter squash comes a close second, followed by Brussel sprouts – both containing over 10% of your RDA. Boiled cauliflower and steamed broccoli both provide approximately 8% of your RDA, whilst boiled cabbage and romaine lettuce offer modest amounts.

Omega 3 supplements

It can be hard to incorporate enough Omega 3 sources into your diet without your meals becoming very repetitive. For this reason, Omega 3 supplements could be an ideal solution. They can also be taken 20 minutes prior to a Resveratrol capsule, ensuring that the latter is fully absorbed into your body for maximum benefit and effect.
