Imagine how easy life would be if you could just take a pill and all the stress from your life would dissipate? And the same pill would reduce the chances of heart diseases, arthritis, and osteoporosis. Seems unreal, right? 

Omega 3 falls under the category of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the three main categories include DHA, EPA, and ALA. These can be obtained from various sources namely fish or algae oil, cod liver, salmon, and various types of edible seaweed. ALA, on the other hand, is mainly found in plant-based sources like chia seeds, flax seeds, nuts, and many vegetable oils.

Instead of going forward to use unnatural supplements, give these below mentioned “super foods” a chance.
