Eat Fish at Least Twice a Week
Benefits
If you want a healthy heart, make it a habit to eat fish at least twice a week. The American Heart Association recently released guidelines for the consumption of fish. According to their guidelines, you should eat two, three-ounce servings of a fatty fish like salmon, tuna, or mackerel every week to help lessen your risk of developing heart disease.
Why is fish so good for your heart? Fish contain omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to stabilize blood sugar, decrease the risk of coronary artery disease, and increase mental function. Eating more fish can also help you lower your LDL ( bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Triggers
Keep cans of tuna fish in your pantry, and frozen fish fillets in your freezer.
The beauty about cooking fish is that it doesn't take long. Ten to fifteen minutes and you have beautifully cooked fish fillets. What a bonus this is for people in a hurry.
Bon Appetite! Enjoy more fish for lunch or dinner.
To your fabulous health.
