Add more Omega-3 to your diet

Research is showing that Omega-3 fatty acids benefit those who are at risk of heart disease. While there is no recommended daily amount at this time, it is generally agreed that a good target is 4 grams per day. If you want to eat more Omega-3, then here are some foods that have high levels:

- Flax seeds and walnuts. These are both very high in Omega-3. 1/4 cup of walnuts has 2.3 grams and 1/4 of flax seeds has 7 grams (not that you'd ever eat that much flax seeds).

- Beans and tofu (which is made from soy beans). Tofu has about 0.1 grams/ounce and beans 0.2 - 1.0 grams per cup (depending on the type of bean).

- Fish. Salmon is the best bet with 0.5 grams per ounce. Other good choices are halibut and tuna at 0.1 grams per ounce.

- Winter squash has about 0.3 grams per cup.

- Olive oil. While it doesn't have a lot, about 0.2 grams per ounce, if you use this type of oil for your cooking, it'll add up.
