TWO SERVINGS OF FISH

The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fish each week for heart health. Types rich in omega-3 fatty acids are best. These are essential fatty acids that humans get through foods, including fish, nuts and some oils such as canola and flaxseed.

Scientists say the fatty acids are linked to heart health and brain function and may reduce inflammation. Research has shown omega-3 fatty acids decrease the risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which can lead to sudden death, and triglyceride levels.

Which fish should you choose?

Most omega-3 rich:

• Salmon

• Mackerel

• Herring

• Lake trout

• Sardines

• Albacore tuna

Less omega-3 rich:

• Cod

• Haddock

• Catfish

• Sole
