Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold-water fish, Alaskan halibut, salmon, sable fish, butter fish, even sardines have them. Farm-raised salmon only has about half the omega-3 as wild Alaskan salmon. If you see sockeye salmon, you know that you're getting wild salmon, because they haven't figured out how to farm raise it yet. Omega-3 is absolutely essential for heart health, for brain health, and actually there are some studies that have shown that it's helping kids with ADD, ADHD, and autism. It's essential as one of the necessary tools to reduce the likelihood of senility and Alzheimer's as well, and this is just the beginning. Everyone should be having omega-3 in their diet, whether it comes from a plant source, like flax seed or flax oil, or from an animal source, like salmon. So, please investigate this, learn more. It's always best to get it from a food source rather than a supplement, but if you don't like salmon, or you're allergic to it, or whatever the problem may be, please get it in a supplementation form. It's inexpensive and absolutely will improve your health.
