Next up in the #nutrients in #food series are omega-3 fatty acids. They are quite unstable polyunsaturated fatty acids, which we MUST consume with food.

Two omega-3s, EPA and DHA, are also essential, but mainly found in #animalfood (like grass-fed #fat, #brain, #fish, and #dairy). You will not get them from #plantfood, such as flax and chia seeds, which will give you ALA instead. ALA is converted to EPA/DHA only SLOWLY, so take that into consideration for your #health and #wellbeing.
