  1. I have been taking omega 3 supplements but want to know if omega 3
    something that can be added to a recipe? How? Thanks. Are there any omega-3
    enriched foods?

    Fish, flaxseed (oil).

  6. Mario,
    I use a coffee grinder to grind flaxseeds and then put it in my
    smoothies. I eat salmon salad sandwiches quite a bit. Fish and
    especially salmon have a lot of good fatty acids in them. Do a google
    search for omega 3 fatty acids. Here is what the American Heart
    Association says:

    We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times
    a week. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn't have the high
    saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel,
    lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two
    kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
    docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

    To learn about omega-3 levels for different types of fish - as well
    as mercury levels, which can be a concern - see our Encyclopedia
    entry on Fish, Levels of Mercury and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

    We also recommend eating tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola,
    walnut and flaxseed, and their oils. These contain alpha-linolenic acid
    (LNA), which can become omega-3 fatty acid in the body.

    I hope this information helps you,
    James

    Bumble Bee makes a Pink Salmon that tastes quite a bit like
    tuna. Substitute it for tuna. Higher in Omega-3s.

    Walnuts. About half of flaxseed but easier to eat.
    Canola Oil. About half of flaxseed but cheaper and easier to
    use.

    Half and half is nice, too. I sometimes use one can of tuna and one can
    of salmon - very nice.

    If you want the cardiovascular protection of omega-3, you should
    differentiate between generic (short-chain) omega-3 and long-chain.
    The primary long chain 03's are EPA and DHA.

    These are to my knowledge not readily available in large quantities
    except from animal sources -- the only one I know about is salmon.
    There may be others, but this is the one I count on.

    I started taking 1 to 1.5 grams per day of EPA/DHA via good quality
    (i.e. deep water, low in heavy metal contaminant) salmon oil, and my
    cholesterol levels, especially LDL, plummeted after a year. Overall
    blood cholesterol from 240 to 146.
