I began taking the Omega3 oils daily in a softgel about 1 month ago, and I started feeling much better.

The answer to number 4 is only partly correct. Garlic powder is ONLY dehydrated powdered garlic, garlic salt on the other hand is mostly salt.

Want a heart-healthy diet? Don't eat anything that is advertised. And don't eat anything that has ingredients you can't pronounce. And stay away from sugar, starch, and sugar subs. You'll live forever.

Healthy condiments... don't eat anything pre-packaged, unless it's only dried with no added preservatives. As a general rule: eat any food in the form closest to that in which it occurs in nature and you'll be good. Only shop in the outer perimeter of the super-market... avoid the food in the isles... or shop at a farmers market. So for condiments, use fresh ground garlic, fresh ground ginger, onions, lemon juice, fresh herbs, olives... add a little bit of olive oil if you need to. The best tasting food your ever have when you cook naturally. ... raw is even better. I agree with tony_facade.

Omega-3 fatty acids come in three varieties: ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) - found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables, flax seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, and a variety of vegetable oils. Dark green vegetables, freshly ground flax seeds, and raw walnuts are the healthiest sources of ALA. EPA (EicosoPentaenoic Acid) - found primarily in cold water fish like salmon, cod, mackerel, and tuna, as well as in fresh seaweed. Also found in smaller amounts in organically raised animal products like free range eggs, chickens, and grass-fed beef. DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid) - found in the same foods that EPA is found in.

Lots of good information here, but I am surprised that there were a few errors considering the source. Question said chopped garlic, answer said garlic powder. Calcium question mentioned 500 mg, while answer said 1000mg. Proofreading ?
