Move over omega-3 – omega-7 is in town. What it is and why you need it...

Omega-3 fatty acids are famously good for us and an important part of a healthy diet. 

But now there’s another healthy omega on the horizon – omega-7. Nutritional experts say omega-7 has several health benefits including the power to control appetite.

There are omega-7 supplements on the market but you can get it through food too. Cold water fish are one source. They include salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout. Macadamia nuts are also rich in omega-7, as are sea buckthorn berries, an orange-colored, grape-sized fruit which can be found online or in health food stores.
