Currently, the most virtuous fat of all, Omega-3 fatty acids can
be found in all Oven Popper’s Salmon, Sole, Flounder and Cod
entree's. Like many "good fats" Omega-3s are unsaturated, the
kind of fat that keeps the heart healthy and may also stave off
type 2 diabetes and some cancers (according to Susan Bowerman,
assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition).
Omega 3 fatty acids also may help prevent inflammation
throughout the body, along with blood clots that can lead to
stroke. There is hope as well that as we age Omega 3 fatty acids
may also protect against mental decline. Fatty, cold-water fish,
such as Salmon and Tuna are very rich in the most important
forms of Omega 3s, called EPA and DHA. In this regard, nothing
can substitute fish for delivering the recommended dose of
weekly Omega 3's.
Scientists recommend 1,500 to 2,000 milligrams of Omega-3s per
week, to be consumed through a variety of seafood. A four-ounce
serving of salmon contains up to 100% of the recommended weekly
intake.
Examples of Fish containing Omega 3's - per four-ounce portion.
Lake Trout - 2,300 milligrams (4 ounces)
Atlantic Salmon, Farmed - 2,100 milligrams (4 ounces)
Albacore Tuna - 1,700 milligrams (4 ounces)
Atlantic Salmon, Wild - 1,600 milligrams (4 ounces)
Cod - 300 milligrams (4 ounces)
Sole - 250 milligrams (4 ounces)
One box of Oven Popper’s Salmon w/Spinach & Cheese will deliver
for you the current weekly recommended amount of omega-3's
thought to protect against heart disease!
Enjoy!
