With omega-6 fatty acids dominating the American diet these days no thanks to all the man-made vegetable oils that show up all across the food chain, finding new sources of omega-3 fatty acids to counterbalance the overwhelming ratio of upwards of 20 to 1 in the typical diet is critical. We know about consuming fish oil, Wild Alaskan salmon and other fresh fish, walnuts, and grass-fed beef, for example. But I recently learned of another source of omega-3s that you may want to hear about.
In Episode 209 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we hear from Peter McMullin, the marketing and promotions manager for an up-and-coming company called Sibu educates us on a fruit from the Himalayas called seabuckthorn. The oil from the seeds found in seabuckthorn contain an excellent non-fishy source of omega-3s as well as 190 other nutrients. Aside from macadamia nuts, they are the only other food that contains omega-7, a less known fatty acid. Peter tells us about his company’s Tashi Diet Care product that contains gel capsules filled with the oil from the seed of the seabuckthorn fruit.
Have you heard of seabuckthorn before? Does fish oil repulse you and does this sound like a better way to get your omega-3s? Be sure to check out the Tashi Diet Care product containing seabuckthorn seed oil chock full of antioxidants and omega fatty acids as well as all the Sibu line of health and beauty products.
