- Fatty fish and fish oil
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and tuna are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which have been studied extensively for their heart-health benefits.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish may have a protective role in the risk of developing heart disease and slightly reduce the risk of CVD events and arrhythmias.
Eating fish over the long term may support lower levels of:
total cholesterol
blood triglycerides
fasting blood sugar
systolic blood pressure
Fish consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, and mortality.
If you don’t eat much seafood, fish oil is another option for getting your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
Fish oil supplements may reduce rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac death, sudden death, and stroke
