The alphas in your life are clear (your best friend, your mother, your
stubborn terrier). But where are your omegas?
You can count on salmon and tuna, yes. But don't sell yourself short.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a variety of fish—and they're great
(read: essential) for the heart and brain. Here, we've got the top seven
sources, from Debora Yost's book, Heal Your Heart with Wine and Chocolate. Omega-3 amounts are per 4-ounce serving. (And please take note: Tuna
doesn't even top the list.)
1. Herring: 2,347 mg
2. Sardines: 1,786 mg
3. Salmon: 1,473 mg
4. Mackerel: 1,273 mg
5. Trout: 1,213 mg
6. Halibut: 933 mg
7. Tuna: 785 mg
The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fish a week
to prevent heart disease. So go wild. And please take that literally.
Wild-caught fish have fewer contaminants—and more nutrients—than farmed
fish.
