Today's Heart Tip: Eat Fish
Fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the inflammation that can damage your blood vessels and lead to heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, boost immunity, and improve arthritis symptoms. Eat 1-2 servings a week of fatty fish such as wild salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, and rainbow trout.
Dr. Pate's heart advice: “One of my great joys is watching my grandkids grow and learn, and I can’t wait to grill salmon for them. Grandkids and a salmon barbecue. It doesn’t get better than that!”
