3. Fatty Fish
Another rich source of omega-3 fatty acids is salmon. Mackerel is also good. And while we all know that there are many types of fatty fish out there, including tuna, trout, and herring, salmon and mackerel are the best when it comes to omega-3s.
Omega-3 fatty acids boost heart health by maximizing ‘good’ HDL cholesterol while reducing inflammation in the body, as well as your risk of stroke.
However, it’s important to choose the healthiest cooking option. It doesn’t matter how many health benefits salmon has if you fry it. Steaming or stewing are the best cooking options. Even if fried salmon tastes better, note that it can actually maximize your risk of stroke and heart disease.
