Poke bowls are a great way to get more omega-3s into your diet without having to add extra calories or carbs by adding fish or other seafood to your dish. While it may seem like there aren’t many options for poke bowls at restaurants (especially if you’re not big on sushi), there are actually quite a few ways you can customize them so they fit your needs perfectly (at least at Koibito Poke)!

Omega-3s are found in fish, seafood, nuts and seeds.

Omega-3s are found in fish, seafood and nuts. Some foods are fortified with omega 3 oils so you can get them from your diet without eating seafood.

The easiest way to get more omega 3s is by eating at Koibito Poke. Fill your bowl with Tuna, Salmon or Yellowtail but don’t forget to sauce it up with 8 delicious custom options (spicy, sweet, tangy, creamy or saucy, etc).

Shrimp contains omega-3 fatty acids but only in small amounts. Your best bet if you’re looking at ways to boost your intake is to eat salmon and other types of fish that have higher levels of omega 3 oils.

Omega 3s can also be found in seafood (such as tuna), nuts and seeds such as walnuts and flaxseed oil, or even certain leafy greens like kale which contain ALA (alpha linolenic acid).

A diet rich in omega 3s can increase HDL or good cholesterol levels while lowering LDL or bad cholesterol levels which helps reduce atherosclerosis — the hardening of the arteries associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Omega 3s are also known to reduce triglycerides, which are a type of blood fat. High levels of triglycerides can increase your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Omega 3s may help reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in arteries that supply blood to the heart. This may help prevent atherosclerosis — the hardening of arteries associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Eating more fish is a great way to boost your omega 3 intake and lead a healthier lifestyle!

  • Eat fish at least twice a week.
  • Eat fish that is low in mercury and contaminants.
  • Avoid eating high-mercury and high-contaminant fish such as shark or swordfish (not offered at Koibito Poke).
