Here's some help getting more omega-3's: Grind up a batch of flax seeds; Put them in a seal-tight container and keep in the freezer. Sprinkle the milled flax into smoothies, and on cereal. Flax seeds can be used in recipes also. Either as an egg replacer or for added fiber. For the egg replacer, for one egg: Put 1 1/2 tablespoons mlled flax and just under a 1/4 cup water into a mini blender or processor; blend for a moment until it gets thicker. Let sit for a minute and stir or blend again. It will become gelatinous (eggy), Add to batter when needed. For just adding to say, a muffin recipe, replace some of the flour or keep it minimal and just a a tablespoon or two. Keep in mind that omega-3's are not necessarily heat tolerant so if using flax or borage oil, use them in raw food preparation, not for cooking. In addition, chia seeds and hemp seeds do not need to be ground up before using; the nutrients are absorbable as is. Flax does not break down well in the body, but it is a good source of fiber and a colon-helper.
