Fatty foods for pain relief
The low fat guidelines released by the USDA had catastrophic effects on the U.S. population.
Obesity rates skyrocketed.
Metabolic diseases became prolific.
One of the main reasons for this is that certain types of fat help regulate inflammation.
By excluding those fats from your diet — and replacing them with low fat foods (or worse, artificial plant-based fats) you’re setting yourself up for weight gain, inflammation increases and chronic joint pain.
One of the fat types that many people are deficient in is Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
Studies show that Omega 3’s help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce muscle/bone/joint pain by lowering inflammation, and boost your immune system.
Definitely don’t want to shortchange yourself on getting enough of this healthy fat.
You may have heard that fish contains this heart-friendly, brain-boosting fat.
But you can get ample amounts of Omega 3’s from other food sources too.
Here are the top sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids:
1. Atlantic Mackerel: 6,982 milligrams in 1 cup cooked (174 percent DV)
2. Salmon Fish Oil: 4,767 milligrams in 1 tablespoon (119 percent DV)
3. Cod Liver Oil: 2.664 milligrams in 1 tablespoon (66 percent DV)
4. Walnuts: 2,664 milligrams in 1/4 cup (66 percent DV)
5. Chia Seeds: 2,457 milligrams in 1 tablespoon (61 percent DV)
6. Herring: 1,885 milligrams in 3 ounces (47 percent DV)
7. Alaskan Salmon (wild-caught): 1,716 mg in 3 ounces (42 percent DV)
8. Flaxseeds (ground): 1,597 milligrams in 1 tablespoon (39 percent DV)
9. Albacore Tuna: 1,414 milligrams in 3 ounces (35 percent DV)
10. White Fish: 1,363 milligrams in 3 ounces (34 percent DV)
11. Sardines: 1,363 milligrams in 1 can/3.75 ounces (34 percent DV)
12. Hemp Seeds: 1,000 milligrams in 1 tablespoon (25 percent DV)
13. Anchovies: 951 milligrams in 1 can/2 ounces (23 percent DV)
14. Natto: 428 milligrams in 1/4 cup (10 percent DV)
15. Egg Yolks: 240 milligrams in 1/2 cup (6 percent DV)
The more the better.
But our recommendation nutrition clients is to eat at least ONE of the foods from the list above every day.
If you do that consistently, you’ll be protecting yourself from high inflammation levels, keeping your brain sharp, and protecting your overall health.
