" Q: How do I get the omega-3s I need if I have a seafood allergy?  A: There&amp;#039;s some debate about whether fish oil supplements are OK for people with food allergies, but since no one knows for sure, I suggest you play it safe and steer clear of them. That leaves you with plant-based sources of omega-3s, like walnuts and canola oil. Although they don&amp;#039;t have the same health benefits as fish fats, they do have anti-aging perks of their own. New research suggests that eating a Mediterranean-based diet that includes walnuts (very similar in spirit to our 7 Years Younger Meal Plan) is linked to a lower risk of heart attacks and strokes. Flaxseeds and chia seeds are other great sources of plant-based omega-3s. You can also pick up 500-mg supplements of algae-based DHA \u2014 one of the healthy fats found in fish. Since these are made from algae and not fish, they&amp;#039;re considered safe for people with seafood allergies. More Nutrition Advice from Sam:  Is Green Juice Actually Good for You?
