A new scientific advisory reaffirms the American Heart Association’s recommendation to eat fish- especially those rich in omega-3 fatty acids twice a week to help reduce the risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrest and stroke (ischemic). The advisory is published May 17, 2018 in the journal Circulation. Emphasis should be placed on eating oily fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines or albacore tuna, which are all high in omega-3 fatty acids.
