Fish Facts

Fish and seafood contain very lean protein, vitamins, and minerals. But it's also their high amount of Omega-3 fatty acids that make them such a "Super Food"! Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid has been proven to lower LDL (bad cholesterol), and raise HDL (good cholesterol), which protects you from hear disease, stroke, and other diseases including arthritis, certain cancers, and autoimmune diseases.
Fish also protects against dementia and Alzheimer's.

I recommend eating fish at least 3 times per week. 4-6 oz servings each portion.

Top Fish Recommendations:
- Salmon
- Red Snapper
- Cod
- Halibut
- Orange Roughy
- Tuna
