HEALTHY HAMBURGER - DEVELOPED TO CONTAIN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

I love a nice, juicy and delicious hamburger, however, eating them so often cold carry some problems to or health, sch as high-fat, potential high cholesterol and high calories. But now, with some new developments, there are many healthy options available, such as: bison meat burgers, which have lower fat amounts and calories; and now hamburger from cattle fed with flaxseed, which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids, typically found in plants and fish, are heart healthy and good for brain function. And now, you can get a serving of omega-3 in your hamburger, according to the Cleveland Clinic. A Kansas State University researcher found that by feeding cattle flaxseed, you can increase the amount of “A-L-A” omega-3 fatty acids in the resulting beef, and developed ‘the healthy hamburger,’ which is available in Buffalo, N.Y., retailers. It will soon be distributed nationwide in the USA, according to a news release. A-L-A is usually found in flaxseed and walnuts, and it’s also been proven to aid in heart health. A typical burger has little or no omega-3 fatty acids, compared to this new burger, which can provide as many as 350 milligrams per quarter pound. Registered dietitian Amy Jamieson-Petonic of the Cleveland Clinic said while the burger is a good alternative for people who don't love fish, "we're recommending 1,000 milligrams of D-H-A and E-P-A from your diet or a supplement every day.”
