...the healthy kind of fat, that is. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of heart disease, lower your triglycerides (your bad cholesterol), help prevent arthritis, and are also important for brain functioning.
A good source of omega-3 is fish, especially fatty fish such as mackerel, herring, sardines, and salmon. You can also get some omega-3 from tofu and other stuff made with soybeans, along with oils made from canola, flaxseed, and walnut.
There are also a variety of organic or all-natural fish oil supplements commercially available at health food stores.
