Some Plant Based Omega-3 Fatty Acid Foods For Vegetarians

June 07, 2022

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that our body cannot make from scratch. We should include foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids in our diet. Foods rich in omega-3 include fish, vegetable oils, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds, and leafy vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acids are helpful to prevent heart disease, reduce inflammation, decrease blood triglycerides, and even reduces the risk of dementia.

Doctors often advise you to take some supplements and pills to overcome the deficiency of omega-3. Most people consume fish or use fish oil to intake omega-3 in the body. But if you are a vegetarian, then you should consider including these plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

Flaxseeds

Flaxseed is a nutritional powerhouse, having a good amount of fiber, protein and magnesium. Flaxseeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. One tablespoon (10 grams) of whole flaxseed contains 2,350 mg of ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which is way more than what you need daily.

Walnuts are an excellent source of healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids.

Canola oil

Canola oil is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids protect against heart attacks and strokes by helping to lower bad cholesterol.

Kidney beans can alone supply 10 percent of our daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a great plant-based source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids. Due to the presence of omega-3, fiber, and protein, chia seeds can decrease the risk of chronic disease when consumed as part of a healthy diet.

Soybean Omega-3 fatty acids are found in sufficient amounts in soybeans. You can include soybeans in your diet in many ways when you see symptoms of omega-3 deficiency.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
