Not all fats are "bad" fats- well we've heard that more times then we would like. But it's the truth, and of these comes omega 3. A healthy little guy with numerous health benefits to offer.
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, meaning our bodies can no produce it- therefore we must look to our diet. Omega 3s are powerful anti-inflammatories,helping to improve joint and bone health, improve cholesterol by lowering triglycerides ands raising HDL, help improve the quality of the skin, by reducing redness, swelling, or irritation. May help in cancer prevention, as well heart disease and arthritis. Studies also show that people deficient in omega 3 may suffer from depression.
Start your day with Omega 3 Oatmeal tomorrow!
1/2 cup of old fashioned oats
1 cups of almond, soy or rice milk
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
1 tbsp of ground blueberry flaxseed (Trader Joes is great!)
1/2 of a banana chopped up
Cook the oatmeal in the milk of your choice, stirring occasionally and allowing oats to absorb all the milk. Add in chopped up banana and allow the banana to get nice and gooey (warm banana has a nice sweet savory taste).
Transfer to a bowl and stir in walnuts and blueberry flaxseed. You can always drizzle some raw organic honey on top as well! ENJOY!!!
