Here are the missing words, in the same order: flaxcouncil bioriginal These are pretty worthwhile websites for anyone interested in beefing up their poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Flax seems to be better than fish and almost as good as chia (unfortunately, one of the chia species IS used in those horrendous pet thingies, but the one high in omega-3 fatty acids is apparently another species of chia that grows in Peru).
Avatar f tn This is literally the only thing that works for me. Been doing it for years. Chia is high in fiber and omega-3s as well which are good for baby!

Avatar f tn Any veggie ladies out there? Any tricks or tips you've used to stay healthy during your pregnancy? Very been on chia seeds at the moment to get the omega 3s! Generally, I'm very healthy- eating organic, staying away from processed foods, taking my vitamins, daily moderate exercise, all that good stuff. Also my labs have always looked great. Just wondering if anyone has any tips I can work into my diet . Thanks in advance!!!
Avatar f tn Flaxseeds are a good source of fiber and omega 3 fatty acids that help with brain development. Chia seeds are a good source of fiber and contain calcium and iron. Pregnant women should consume 1.1 grams per kilogram of body weight of protein per day. The shakes are not to be used as a meal replacement!!!
Avatar m tn I also seem to be having some luck with using the Vitamix blender, and adding different kinds of flax-seeds, chia-seeds, sesame seeds, and sun flower seeds to my fruit smoothies. I fluctuate my seeds and nuts, which I prefer for the Omega's, as I am kind of grossed out by fish oil, and a bit paranoid about mercury.
Avatar f tn A good way to start the day would be oat (I add vanilla and cinnamon for some flavour) add a teaspoon of ground flax seed or a teaspoon of chia seeds to your oats, both will provide you with omega 3. A little bit of knowledge can go a long way and all this info is readily available and I found it all very useful when switching to a vegan diet. It would be a shame for someone so young to suffer permanent damage from being underweight.

172023 tn?1334672284 I either buy the 3 or 5 pound bag. The 3 pound bag will last me about 3-4 months. Chia seeds are much better tasting then flax seed. They have about the same nutrients and they do more then flax seeds do. I bought the chia initally to help me lose weight in my protien shakes. I found out they work the best in aiding me to go to the bathroom.

Avatar m tn Recently I heard that taking omega 3 capsules( the transparent one) will increase the risk of prostate cancer. Is there any scientific studies conducted on the subject?

Avatar f tn My husband bought me a Vitamix, and I have been blending a bit of ruit with plain yogurt, and then adding whole flax-seeds, chia seeds, sun-flower seeds, and sesame seeds, I feel like a bird, but it helped with the joint pain, and it helps to keep me regular. Also, foods that are antioxidants should be good, I try to stick with organic food. If I slip up, and eat junk-food, the aches come back.
Avatar f tn you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.

Avatar f tn Sometimes I just want to eat spoonfuls of chia seeds straight out of the bag and I don't know why. Like literally my mouth is watering typing this. Such an odd craving. I wonder if eating too many is bad? What foods are you craving lately?
