I've visited many sites on the Internet claiming that "eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack by a third or more." I totally agree with everything I've read regarding the "benefits" of eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Doctors have long recognized that the unsaturated fats in fish, called omega-3 fatty acids, appear to reduce your risk of dying of heart disease. As mentioned in my previous post, the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids at least twice a week.
Although the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish are healthy, some people are still concerned about mercury or other contaminants in fish. As a result, they are more concerned about the bad outweighing its heart-healthy benefits. With that said, the benefits of eating fish usually outweigh the possible risks of exposure to contaminants. Find out how to balance these concerns with adding a healthy amount of fish to your diet.
According to experts, fatty fish, such as salmon, herring, and to a lesser extent tuna, contain the most omega-3 fatty acids. They provide the most benefits, but many types of seafood contain small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Most freshwater fish have less omega-3 fatty acids than do fatty fish from the sea. Some varieties of trout have relatively high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
My personal favorite is salmon, which has always been touted as the fish with the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Believe it or not, one of the best pieces of salmon I've eaten came from Chili's. (Although, I probably should have stayed away from their molten).
The evidence is stronger for the benefits of eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids compared with using supplements. However, people who have heart disease may benefit from supplements of omega-3 fatty acids and should discuss this with their doctors.
I suggest taking TriVita's Omega Prime as the supplement to get your daily requirements of omega-3 fatty acids. If you're not a fish eater, Omega Prime can be a great addition to your diet. Since omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by doctors and health professionals, it's important to get your daily requirement.
Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.
