4. Flaxseeds
This isn’t something you are likely to find in most people’s kitchen, but it’s something well worth learning about, and you may even find these crunchy little beauties tastier than you would expect. Flaxseeds are packed with a specific type of omega-3 fatty acids called alpha-linolenic acid. This is something your body does not manufacture on its own and since it is known to be so beneficial for the heart, it’s definitely worth picking some of these up and finding a way to work them into your diet.
