Fish: Research has supported the cholesterol-lowering benefits of eating fatty fish because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids also helps the heart in other ways such as reducing blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, fish oil-or omega-3 fatty acids-significantly reduces the risk of sudden death.

Doctors recommend eating at least two servings of fish a week. The highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon. However, to maintain the heart-healthy benefits of fish, bake or grill it. If you don't like fish, you can get omega-3 fatty acids from foods like flaxseed or canola oil.

Thanks again I like fish (baked) (tuna & salmon, orange roughy, Tilapia) with margarine & lemon & dill. I usually have fish once a week, now I'll make fish 2-times a week maybe that would be better than once a week. Fish is perfect for summer dishes because it's so light. Cookie
