Omega-3 Fatty Acids

This nutrient is one that your body does not produce naturally, so you must include this nutrient in the foods you eat. Since all fish types contain Omega-3 nutrients, you must eat a sufficient amount at least two times per week. Some fish contain more of the omega-3 nutrients than other fish types. These fish that are higher in omega-3 nutrients include mackerel, oysters, tuna, trout, sardines, salmon, and herring.
