The American Heart Association recommends increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids to reduce risk of cardiac disease
What foods could the nurse recommend to a client who wants to increase consumption of foods higher in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids? 1. Two servings per day of organically grown whole wheat
2. One serving per week of free-range grown chicken that is served skinless
3. One serving per week of shellfish, like shrimp or oysters
4. Two servings per week of deep water fish, like salmon or tuna
4
Rationale: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are found in highest concentrations in deep, cold water fish like fresh tuna or salmon. Shellfish are found in shallow, warmer waters so do not have high concentration of omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids. In addition, many people are allergic to shellfish. Plant-based foods and chicken, regardless of how grown or raised, are not good sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
