Simple Ways to Increase Healthy Fats

1. Select fatty fish Choose omega-3-rich fatty fish over beef or pig. Salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, and mackerel work. Try for two servings every week. Wild Planet® and SafeCatch® canned fish have high omega-3 content. 

Bonus:  fish cooks rapidly, making supper fast. Try some of this baked salmon as an appetizer. 

2) Use good oils for cooking   Healthy fats are added to your meals and your body is better able to absorb the vitamins A, E, D, and K that are naturally present in foods when you cook with high-quality plant oils. 

Example: Olive oil Avocado oil Coconut oil Sesame oil Canola oil
