Omega-3 can be used to treat symptoms for menopausal woman and provide natural hot flash relief, according to Mayo Clinic.com.   I’ve also learned that omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that our body needs in order to perform a variety of physiologic activities (that is the physical inner working of the body).

Our body needs omega-3 fatty acids to function, but is unable to synthesize them. . So our body must obtain the omega-3 fatty acids from our diet or from supplements.

So you may be asking what foods contain omega-3 fat. 

So here is a brief list of some foods:

Sardines:  Ounce for ounce sardines contain just as much heart-healthy omega3-fat as salmon.  According to what I’ve learned sardines are very low in contaminants, eco-friendly, packed with high-quality protein and of course exceedingly affordable. 

Not that I recommend canned foods but if you buy canned sardines with the bones we’ll get a huge dose of calcium as well.

Fish:  Fish naturally contain omega-3 fatty acids, and cold water fish such as salmon have even higher concentrations of the healthy fat. For what I’ve learned at least two servings per week are recommended.  Also research has shown the omega-3’s lower cholesterol and decreased risk of heart disease with continued use.

Plants: Many plants contain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly green and leafy plants such as collard greens and spinach and are an easy source of omega-3 dietary needs.  It’s great to know that these foods are inexpensive to accessible and can provide you with natural hot flash relief.

To Your Excellent Health!
