  • Today's Tip: Foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

    to get them meibomian glands going! (as well as good brain function and a healthy heart!)

    many people's diets are omega-3 defficient, increase your intake by consuming the following foods;

    --Marine sources: Atlantic salmon and other fatty, preferably cold-water fish, including herring (both Atlantic and Pacific), sardines, Atlantic halibut, bluefish, tuna, and Atlantic mackerel. The American Heart Association recommends that people eat tuna or salmon at least twice a week.

    As a reasonable substitute (or even an occasional alternative) for fresh fish, commercial fish oil capsules are available containingomega-3s such as DHA and EPA.

    --Wild game: Surprisingly, venison and buffalo are both good sources of omega-3s and make a healthy choice for people craving meat. These wild game meats can be purchased through mail-order sources if your supermarket doesn't carry them.

    --Plant sources: Canola oil, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, and leafy green vegetables such as purslane are all good sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based omega-3. A quarter-cup (1 ounce) of walnuts supplies about 2 grams of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, slightly more than is found in 3 ounces of salmon. WholehealthMD's extensive Healing Kitchen provides details on the nutrients in many of these foods, as well as recipes to include in your diet.

    --Enhanced food: In the U.S., these include omega-3 enriched eggs; breads are sometimes enhanced in other countries.

    Mmmm Pacific Salmon beats out Atlantic in every taste test (that I have done).

    Hemp seed oil has an incredibly high level of OMEGA acids in it. Trouble is finding it of course. The DEA tried to outlaw it under current drug laws but the court system told them no. Please note, hemp seed comes from industrial hemp, not the smokable kind. This means the THC level is in trace amounts, if there at all.

    And yummy I do like buffalo...I am preferring it to cow.

      Aso remember to seriously increase your intake of blueberries (both fresh and frozen), spinachs and carrots. All have been proven to help eye sight and eye infections.
