Two servings of oily fish per week can significantly reduce risk of heart attack and stroke, even for those who aren’t eating an especially healthy diet, according to a new science advisory from the American Heart Association (AHA).
Sixteen years after first releasing a recommendation to eat more fish, the AHA is doubling down on its advice. A wealth of credible studies have bolstered what at the time was an adequate if not entirely fleshed-out advisory made at the beginning of a new wave of research on fatty acids found in seafood. Now, say the researchers, there can be little doubt.
