FISH AND THE HEART

According to Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD., professor of nutrition at Penn State, "One thing is clear: People who eat a diet high in fish are less likely to die of heart disease."  According to Kris-Etherton, the American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish like salmon and albacore tuna twice a week to lower triglycerides and blood pressure.

Note: Frying fish can lower their health potential.
