šMackerel is an excellent source of āessentialā omega 3 fats, important amongst other things for cognitive function, clear healthy skin, keeping membranes supple and having anti-inflammatory properties. ā
ā
š„And if you didnāt know, good fats are also an integral part of EVERY cell in your body, helping form the flexible outer layer that ensures nutrients you eat can enter the cell and create energy. ā
ā
šSo, letās face it that is a pretty important list of reasons to ensure you eat good fats DAILY!ā
ā
š„One easy way is by adding some oily fish to a lunchtime salad. This could be smoked mackerel like I did today, but equally tinned sardines or a piece of salmon.ā
ā
ā
Other ways to include good fats could be things such as:ā
šBreakfast:ā
*Chia seeds mixed with yoghurt and fruitā
*Homemade granola with nuts and seeds (recipe on my IGTV)ā
*Scrambled egg and smoked salmonā
ā
šSnack:ā
*Almonds added to a smoothieā
*Walnuts with a piece of fruitā
*Fish pate on cracker (recipe on previous post)ā
*Half an avocadoā
ā
šLunch or Dinnerā
