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 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).
