Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are another strong plant source of omega-3s (ALA), along with lignans that have mild anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing effects.
How to use it:
Always use ground, not whole, flaxseed — whole seeds pass through undigested for most people. Add 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed to smoothies, oatmeal, or curd daily. Or another way to use whole flax seeds is by soaking them overnight in a cup of water and having them first thing in the morning along with that water.
