Omega is not just the last letter of the Greek alphabet or a fraternity’s namesake…omegas are fatty acids, there are many of them, and they are super important for health… and beauty.

There are two types of omegas that don’t occur naturally in the body, and thus, must be ingested. These are omega-3 and omega-6. Good news is, we’re probably already consuming our fair share of omega-3 and 6 in our avocado-a-day diet. Avocados, olive oil, salmon and tuna, flaxseed, and raw nuts are all high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. (The spicy tuna roll just got a whole lot more interesting.) Unless you’re eating an omega-rich diet, consider taking an omega-3 supplement. Okay, they’re good for health, we got it.
