Two weekly servings of small oily fish: genuine omega-3s with very little mercury.

Micro-habits to get started

Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:

A can at dinner

Add a can of mackerel, sardines, or jack mackerel to one of your dinners.

Canned jack mackerel and sardines are among the best nutritional bargains in the supermarket.

Choose the small ones

Opt for sardines, anchovies, mackerel, or salmon rather than swordfish or bluefin tuna.

Small, short-lived fish accumulate far less mercury.

With the bones

Eat sardines with their soft canned bones.

It's one of the most calcium-dense sources available.
