Heart Disease Risk

New research published in the European Heart Journal has found that eating oily fish, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout at least once per week can contribute to a reduction in the risk of heart failure in men.

The study conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) analyzed 39,367 Swedish men between the ages of 45 and 79 from 1998 to 2004. Its results indicated those who ate fatty fish once a week had a 12 percent lower risk of developing heart failure.
