Some plant foods like seaweed, flax seeds, walnuts and canola oil also have omega 3

fatty acids. However, our bodies are not very good at using plant sources of omega 3

fatty acids. If you can eat fish, it is a much better source of omega 3s for your body.

Hablemos del pescado ¿Por qué debe comer pescado?

De acuerdo con la Guia Alimentaria para los Estadounidenses, los adultos deben

consumir 8 onzas de pescado a la semana. ¿Sabe por qué? Porque el pescado es una

fuente de proteína sin grasa y contiene vitaminas y minerales como el hierro, calcio y

zinc. Pero lo más importante, es que el pescado es nuestra mejor fuente de ácidos

grasos Omega 3. Los ácidos grasos Omega 3 son el tipo de grasa saludable que:

Ayuda a bajar la presión de la sangre

Reduce el riesgo de ataques al corazón

Mejora la memoria

Ayuda al desarrollo saludable del cerebro en los niños

Algunas alimentos de origen vegetal como el alga marina, semillas de linaza, nueces

de castilla (walnuts) y aceite de canola también contienen ácidos grasos Omega 3.

Sin embargo, nuestro cuerpo no es muy bueno para aprovechar las fuentes vegetales

de ácidos grasos Omega 3. Si usted puede comer pescado, es la mejor fuente de

ácidos grasos Omega 3 para su cuerpo.

Cuidado con el mercurio

El mercurio es un metal pesado y tóxico que está presente en ciertos niveles en todos

los pescados. Pero los niveles encontrados en el pescado son muy bajos como para

causar daño a la mayoría de las personas.

Las mujeres embarazadas o que podrían quedar encintas o están amamantando y los

niños pequeños no deben comer ciertos tipos de pescado porque tienen un alto

contenido de mercurio. Estos pescados son:

Tiburón (shark)

Pez espada (swordfish)

Caballa real o gigante (King Macherel)

Azulejo (tilefish)

No más de 6 onzas de atún albacora “blanco” a la semana.

¿Tiene dudas sobre cuál pescado elegir? El salmón, arenque, sardinas y truchas todos

tienen poco mercurio y un alto contenido de ácidos grasos Omega 3.

Cómo elegir el mejor pescado

Compre pescado fresco de una fuente confiable. No tema preguntar a los empleados

cuál pescado es el más fresco. Antes de comprar pescado, asegúrese que:

El pescado esté refrigerado en hielo que no se ha derretido.

Los ojos del pescado lucen claros y saltones y no opacos.

El pescado huele como el mar, no como pescado o amoniaco.

El pescado tiene una carne brillosa y firme sin decoloraciones. Fuentes: http://www.eatright.org/, http://health.gov/dietaryguideliners/2010.asp
