Omega-3 Fatty Acids

What does it support? Heart, Brain, Inflammation - all of which I think you'd agree are rather important ones to give some of your tender loving care to!

​

Menopause Matters! Ok so lets talk Brain Fog first - this has been a massive issue for me and I am sure for a lot of you. And Omega-3 fatty acids can help. Heart health becomes more important after menopause because of those hormonal changes we've been through.

​

Pick Omega-3 rich foods... 

• Salmon (yummy!)

• Mackerel (maybe!)

• Sardines (yep!)

• Flaxseeds and chia seeds (still to be discovered...)

• Walnuts (lots of recipes feature roasted walnuts, that's fine but they are much better just eaten as they come!)

• Rapeseed oil (well at least it isn't just attacking us with hay fever!)

• Seaweed (do not head to the beach and start eating it out the sea - it doesn't matter how bad the brain fog is!!!)

​

Apparently one or two portions of oily fish each week is recommended - this is based on UK dietary guidance!  Also, this is another where I am taking a supplement - Omega-3 gummies (the ones I take have flaxseed and chia oil - so I wasn't being completely honest when I said these were still to be discovered....)
