The American Health Association recommends eating fish at least two times per week. The Omega 3 fish oil found in fatty fish like tuna and salmon contains fatty acids that benefit the hearts of healthy people and lower your cholesterol naturally. Fish is a better sort of protein than red meat because it is low in saturated fat. In addition to adding fish to the diet, doctors, recommend eating tofu, other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flax seed and their oils. Some people complain that fish is lacking in flavor, but this can easily be remedied by applying some seafood dry rub before cooking.
Doctors also recommend that those without Coronary Heart Disease and high cholesterol eat a variety of fatty fish at least twice a week. This diet also should include oils and foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid (flaxseed, canola and soybean oils.) Patients suffering from CHD should consume about 1 gram of EPA + DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish. Patients who need to lower triglycerides should ingest 2 to 4 grams of EPA + DHA provided as capsules under a physician’s care. Patients taking more than 3 grams of omega fatty acids from capsules should do so only under a physician’s care. High intakes can cause excessive bleeding in some patients.
