HEART-HEALTHY ESSENTIAL FATS<br />
Dietary fats provide essential fatty acids that the body<br />
cannot make on its own. Essential fatty acids like omega-<br />
3 fatty acids are needed to make and repair cell<br />
membranes, and are good <strong>for</strong> the heart, a source of<br />
energy, lubricating joints and tissues and reducing<br />
inflammation in the body.<br />
Cold water fish (salmon, mackerel, and sardines), ground<br />
flaxseed and walnuts are a few good dietary sources to<br />
include in your daily training diet.
