Make fish a part of your diet as these are high in omega-3. We recommend that you stock on salmon, tuna, mackerel and trouts.

Oatmeal Breakfast

Not much to say here as oatmeal is the perfect nutrient powerhouse for us all and the best part being that it is easily available and very filling.

Sprinkle Flax Seeds

These seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and phytoestogens which boost heart health. Consume these daily in ground or milled form to reap its benefits.

Dark Beans

Beans like kidney or black beans are amazing sources of fiber, Vitamin B, minerals and other good stuff. 

Go Nuts
