Alternative to Fish Oil

You've no doubt heard about the benefits of omega three - it's not only heart healthy but it can also help with certain type of pain because it can help to reduce inflamation. The fatty oils are good for the skin and some say it help with some "female" issues.
You've probably also heard that you have to get omega three from fatty fish like salmon or sardines.
There is a tasty vegan alternative - Flaxseed oil.
This oil isn't made for cooking, but you can use it anywhere else you would use oil or butter. It's yellow like butter. Pour some on your popcorn or your baked potato and see how you like it. Give a few tries first before giving up on the taste.
Make your own homemade salad dressing with it.
I like to mix fresh dill, fresh garlic, balsamic vinegar, apple cide vinegar, a touch of white vinegar and a liberal amount of flax seed oil to make a healthy salad dressing.
Keep your flaxseed oil refridgerated.
