Essential fatty acids are a vital component for our body, and these need to be sourced from our food. They are of two types: Omega 6 and Omega 3. 🌴
Most traditional Indian diets provide sufficient Omega 6, but might lack in Omega 3. Fatty fish is the most well-known source while flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts are good sources for vegetarians.
Also, there is a huge range of Omega-3 supplements, but supplements shouldn’t be considered as an alternative to real food.🌴
This is my daily dose of omega-3, I add a tablespoon to my curd daily: protein, fiber, healthy fat, and probiotic all together make it a super healthy snack!🌴

We started adding flax and chia seeds and a bit of crushed walnuts to our bowl of yoghurt and to our salads too. They are nice additions to both.

I’ve tried crushing flaxseeds and adding to wheatflour but no one apart from me can eat the darker rotis that result. 😀
