I often tell patients to increase their fish intake, but the type of fish is just as important. We need to be mindful of heavy metals such as mercury when consuming fish and other seafood so be informed about whats good and whats not takes the guess work out of it.

To be getting a good dose of omega 3, serves of fish per week is a great stating point. Salmon is a fantastic fish which is safe to consume and it is so versatile. Not a fan of Salmon? Then take your pic from the other fish listed at the bottom of the pyramid.

What about fish oil?

Fish oils are prone to heavy metal contamination as well, especially bargain basement products. When I am choosing a fish oil I am only ever using the highest quality product from companies which are transparent about the farming methods, the production, the purification and the freshness of the product. If you are paying $14.95 for 200 fish oil capsules be wary of the product that you are consuming.
