four years ago I had a pacemaker put in. A year or so later saw an old

friend who was into health food who had also had to have one put in. she

suggested I eat sardines or kippers every day for lunch. she said they

probably wouldn't let me eat them in our family owned furniture store

because of the smell so I would probably have to eat them outside. I have

not taken her suggestion, though. I do assume she knows what she is talking

about.

Healthy fish?

We try to eat salmon once a week as I know it's one of the healthy choices

as far as fish. Tuna is also good, but higher in sodium. What other fish are

good choices?

Thanks.

Healthy fish?

Someone asked:

" We try to eat salmon once a week as I know it's one of the healthy choices

good choices? "

The potential problem with salmon is its source. Many farmed sources are

given food which does not contain the omega3 oils which has the health

benefit, aside from being a non-saturated fat source important to

diabetics. It is the lower food chain a fish eats that produces the omega3

which the salmon and tuna higher on the chain consume.

The sodium is added to the tuna and canned salmon so fresh sources are

best. Sadly it also contains higher mercury levels because it also

concentrates it from the lower parts of the food chain it uses. The larger

the fish the more the mercury so salmon don't have this problem. Albacore

tuna,ie. white, is highest because it is one of the larger varieties and

the most expensive canned varieties. Yellow fin etc. varieties are smaller

and in the lower priced cans.

Here is a list of good fish choices in order of omega3 content, the first

highest::

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty

fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 ounce

cooked, or about a cup of flaked fish. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel,

herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty

acids.
