Not all Fats are bad for you - Okay!
Omega - 3 fatty acids help our bodies in a number of ways and our bodies don't naturally produce this so we need to eat or supplement them.
This healthy fat can help lower the risk of heart disease, depression, dementia
and arthritis.
There are a number of different forms and the one found is fish is known as DHA & EPA - known to have the strongest health benefits.
ALA is found in walnuts, flaxseeds, leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli and edamame - so don't worry if you a veggie or vegan there are still ways to include it in your diet from natural sources.
Always try where you can to get your intake from natural sources but supplementing them is okay, we would suggest seeking advice if you are unsure if you need to take them - Speak with Ellie for more advice on supplements and nutrition.
