When we talk about foods rich in omega-3, two names systematically come back: lawyer and salmon. The first seduced with its creamy texture and good fats, the second for its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, reputed to be beneficial for the heart, the brain and the fight against inflammation. These two products are often highlighted in health regimes but they can also weigh heavy on the budget. Fortunately, there is an alternative that is both affordable and rich in benefits, capable of competing with these nutrition stars. On his Instagram account, Doctor William Berrebi shared a simple tip to enrich his diet in omega-3 without breaking the bank. In a video, he explains: “Lin seeds contain a lot of protein, a lot of omega-3, that is to say fatty acids that will have a protective effect on health and fight oxidation, and you also have a lot of fiber ”.
These linen seeds will thus enhance your dishes and above all do good to your health! “So in fact, linen seeds for example are 2 teaspoons per day. It will enrich your dishes, soups, salads”. Easy to incorporate on a daily basis, they can be sprinkled on hot or cold preparations, thus offering a concentrate of essential nutrients at low prices.
