Eating Fish Prevents Heart Attacks
In a study of 214 men and 79 women who had recently had a heart attack, long-term fish consumption was associated with a much lower risk of having another heart attack in the next 30 days. This was a major benefit as eating more than 7 portions of fish a week was associated with an 83% reduced risk of recurrent heart problems after hospitalization. The authors of this study conclude, "An inverse relationship between long-term fish and fish oils consumption and short-term prognosis of patients who had had an ACS was observed."
If you are not up for eating salmon, tuna, or herring on a regular basis, an alternative is 1 teaspoon of fish oil three to seven times a week.
