If you would like to increase your overall health and your heart health as well, one of the best ways is to eat fish regularly.
There are many kinds of fish that are beneficial, so there is a large variety for you to choose from.
Salmon, Sea bass, and Tuna are high in two kinds of the most beneficial amino acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid).
These fatty acids have been shown to fight cancer, help lower blood pressure, and help with rheumatoid arthritis, among many other things.
These types of fatty acids seem to help cardiovascular health, in one way by preventing the accumulation of plaque (cholesterol and fat) on the artery walls.
The oils in this type of fish are also thought to help prevent blood platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots in the arteries.
The two of these benefits themselves can have an impact on a person's cardiovascular health, and reduce the chances of a heart attack.
In addition to helping curb the chances of heart attack, it may also help reduce the chances of stroke by the same means; keeping the platelets from sticking together.
In addition to the benefits of cardiovascular health, fish also seem to be very good for the skin.
Essential fatty acids help to promote healthy cell membranes, and the cell membranes act as barriers to harmful things from the outside, as well as a passageway for nutrients and waste products to get in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane also holds water in, and if you have a strong barrier the cells can hold more moisture, and this means younger looking skin.
It appears that the old adage that fish is brain food, was right.
Recent research at Harvard University, (which examined 135 expectant mothers) found that the ones who ate more fish, had children who performed better on tests when they were six months of age.
There have also been studies to suggest that eating fish seems to slow the onset of dementia in some elderly patients.
No matter how you look at it, eating fish can be part of a very healthy diet, and the variety of fish that is out there means you can have something a little different each time.
There is only one word of caution, some fish like shark and swordfish have been found to have high levels of mercury, so eat a variety of fish to get the best health benefits.
