Now the chocolatey indulgences of Easter are over, many people take a new look at their diets. After all - the summer holidays are just around the corner and the thought of donning the bikini or speedos can fill the bravest of hearts with fear!
The first cutback in the Spring diet is often fat. But not all fat is bad for you. To the contrary, some is very, very good for you. And vital in fact for good health.
Thankfully, there are some very tasty ways to get this healthy stuff. Oil rich fish - such as salmon, mackerel, sea bass and trout - contains Omega 3 fatty acids which is a type of polyunsaturated fat that protects the heart and circulation. This lessens the risk of heart disease by reducing blood clots and inflammation, improving blood vessel elasticity, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fats and boosting ‘good’ cholesterol.
Omega 3 is also important in the development of the brain - in particular a baby’s brain. It is also reported that super omega 3 fatty acids can raise levels of the brain chemical serotonin and so can help to ease depression.
The list of benefits of Omega 3 go on and on. And to help you on the way, we have some great deals on our website. With free delivery on orders over £30 and organic salmon fillets now at just £4.95 (down from £7.45), there has never been a better time to start to add fish to your regular diet.
