#VEGANHEALTH: BEST PLANT-BASED OMEGA 3 SOURCES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for health and wellbeing. Eating a variety of all omega 3 types (ALA, DHA and EPA) help to promote heart health by curbing inflammation in our blood vessels, as well as being crucial for mood stabilisation and other age-related mental declines.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Seaweed & Algae⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seaweed, nori, spirulina and chlorella are different types of algae. They are among some of the few plant groups that contain both DHA and EPA fatty acids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Chia Seeds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chia seeds are another fantastic source of omega-3s, especially ALA fatty acids, as well as being high in protein and fibre. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Hemp Seeds⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aside from being high in omega-3s, hemp seeds are packed with other nutrients such as magnesium, iron and zinc, all of which contribute to healthy skin, heart health, digestion and skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Flaxseeds⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flaxseeds come packed with 6.7 grams of ALA each tablespoon, making it one of the most efficient plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, they contain high levels of fibre, protein and magnesium. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Walnuts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nuts are a great source of healthful fats, including omega-3 fatty acids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Edamame⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Half a cup comes with just 0.28 grams of ALA but it can be added into your diet alongside other plant-based sources to boost your intake.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Kidney Beans⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like edamame, kidney beans do not pack in an awful lot of omega-3s but because they are such a versatile ingredient for everything from salads to stews and curries, it is an easy way to add them to your diet as a way to increase your omega-3 intake.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

♻️🇭🇰 GREEN @ COMMUNITY: A Complete Guide

♻️🇭🇰 GREEN @ COMMUNITY: A Complete Guide To Hong Kong’s New Recycling Stores⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The city’s landfills are running out of space and we need to reduce our waste ASAP- that’s the general idea behind the latest waste separation programme set up by the Hong Kong government, which takes in 8 types of recyclables including,
♻︎ papers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ metals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ plastics⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ glass bottles⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ regulated electrical equipment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ small electrical appliances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ fluorescent lamps and tubes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♻︎ rechargeable batteries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hooray for lower waste living!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The GREEN @ COMMUNITY stores, called “the Apple Store” of recycling centres by one of our readers, aim to educate and collect recyclables from the general public.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a lot more we can talk about the new recycling network from the consumer point of view. So much that it doesn't fit in a single Instagram post. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go to the link in bio for the detailed guide, where we share about the type of locations, the more specific recyclable materials (as there are sub-categories) and how to handle each of the materials properly so we don't fall into the trap of #wishcycling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
