More Reason to Eat Fish

March 5th, 2012

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal talked about a recent study that indicated a link between low levels of omega-3 fatty acid (which is obtained by the body mainly from fish) and poor memory.  Taken with what we already know about the advantages of omega-3 including the HDL “good” cholesterol raising and reduction of coronary artery disease, this study reinforces the health benefits of eating at least three fish meals per week.  Fish highest in omega-3 are generally deep sea fish like tuna or salmon.  Another way to look at it, by eating three meals of fish per week, you are eating three less meals of red meat or pork which are high in saturated fat.
