Best Dairy Foods with Added Omega-3
September 23rd, 2011
Studies have shown that many people are deficient in omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids promote heart, brain and skin health. Additionally, researchers have also found that pregnant women who consume omega 3 fatty acids have fewer complications and healthier babies than those who do not. The easiest way to get the recommended intake of this nutrient is to eat fish. However, some people do not like the taste of fish. Fortunately, there are many dairy products today that have Omega -3 fatty acids added to them.
Fontina cheese has 406 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids in it. Mozerrella cheese that was made with whole milk has about 250 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids in it. Whole milk that is 3.25 percent fat has 250 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. Raw eggs the highest content of this nutrient. Just one raw egg contains nearly 600 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. People who do not like eggs can try a liquid egg substitute. A liquid egg substitute has about 438 mg of Omega 3 Fatty acids in it.
Eating more dairy products is an easy way for people to get more Omega 3 fatty acids in their diet.
