Can you get omega-3 fatty acids naturally from foods?

Good food sources of omega-3 fatty acids include:

· Coldwater fish, like mackerel, tuna, salmon, and sardines

· Cod liver

· Flaxseed and canola oils

· Soybeans and tofu

· Walnuts

The American Heart Association recommends that people eat fish at least twice a week to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Eating fewer foods with omega-6 fatty acids -- like some meats, eggs, and oils -- can also improve the ratio of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, effectively raising the concentration or levels in the body. Many people in the U..S eat diets that have 10-25 times as many omega-6 as they do omega-3 fatty acids. This imbalance may play a role in the onset of many diseases. The more appropriate ratio appears to be approximately 3:1 or 4:1.
