We Eat Fried Fish - We Increase The Risk Of Heart Failure

Fish with dark meat can be especially good for heart health due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids ...

The way the fish is prepared before consumption is important to increase the benefits of the product to stimulate heart health, a new study shows.

For 10 years, the research team has been monitoring the eating habits and health of about 85,000 postmenopausal women.

It has been found that compared to women who rarely or never eat fish, those who eat 4 or more servings per week have a 30% lower risk of developing heart failure, but only if the fish is baked in the oven or cooked on fire or grill.

Eating only 1 serving of fried fish per week is associated with a 48% higher risk of heart failure.

It's important to focus on healthy eating and cooking, says Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and author of the study, published in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure.

Scientists are also analyzing the health benefits of different types of fish. Consumption of fish with dark meat such as salmon, mackerel and lefer is associated with a lower risk of heart failure compared to tuna or white fish such as cod and sole.

The findings confirm the current dietary recommendations, which encourage regular consumption of fish as part of a balanced diet.

Dark meat fish can be especially good for heart health due to their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to help reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing inflammation, blood pressure and cell damage...

Atlantic salmon, for example, contains about 3-6 times more omega-3 fatty acids than cod or sole.
