  • About

Include at least one of the following daily; each serving provides about 2.5 g of omega-3s:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground flaxseeds
  • 1½ tablespoons (22 ml) chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) hemp seeds or walnuts
Along with the smaller amounts of omega-3s from other plant foods, this will meet the needs of both women and men. People with diabetes may also be well advised to take a supplement of 200–300 mg microalgae-based EPA/DHA at least two to three times a week.
