Fishes for the heart
WASHINGTON:
Trying to eat more fish for a healthy heart? Fish sticks do not count, says a study that suggests only fish that is broiled or baked protects against heart disease.
Most fish served fried are types that contain only small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, the healthy fat that can improve cholesterol and other cardiac risk factors, scientists have reported at a meeting of the American Heart Association.
``All fish meals may not be equal,'' said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian of the Harvard Medical School.
A diet high in fish has long been linked with lower levels of heart disease, so much so that the heart association recommends two or more weekly servings — especially of oily fish such as salmon and tuna that are particularly high in the omega-3 fatty acids. — AP
