(NC)-It’s easy to add omega-3s to your diet. registered dietitian Andrea Holwegner offers the following tips:

. Instead of white bread, choose whole grain bread containing flaxseed.

. Enjoy fish such as grilled salmon or mackerel as part of a meal at least twice a week.

. Sprinkle a tablespoon of ground flaxseed over cereal, oatmeal or yogurt.

. Most people don’t realize that canned tuna contains omega-3s. To jazz up a classic tuna sandwich, consider using flavoured tuna (such as lemon pepper or sundried tomato & basil) as an alternative.

. Add half a can of light tuna or a few walnuts to your garden salad for a healthy boost of omega-3s.

. Make your own balsamic vinagrette using flaxseed, canola or soybean oil.

. Whip up an omelette using omega-3 enriched eggs with your choice of veggies and enjoy with a side of toast for a speedy lunch or dinner.
