There are three forms of Omega 3 fatty acids, EPA, ALA, and DHA. Good sources for ALA include walnuts, flax, soybeans and canola oil. EPA and DHA are mainly present in algae and fish. Since EPA and DHA are considered to be the most beneficial, use a fish oil supplement such as those readily available at any health food store. Make sure you use a product certified as free of mercury and other heavy metals (most reputable brands should be fine). Another tip is to use canola oil in your baking for your EPAs along with a daily handful of walnuts.
