The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week because of its richness in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fats found in fish that help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Unsaturated fats reduce inflammation in the body, damaging your blood cells, which can lead to heart disease and strokes.
Try to eat at least one to two servings of fish each week, that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce your risk of heart disease. For a delicious no-fuss, super easy salmon dish, try this flavorful Honey Salmon recipe!
