Eating baked fish helps protect the heart?




Since we were kids, we have been hearing from doctors and parents that eating fish helps to keep your heart healthy. Dr Donald Lloyd-Jones of Northwestern school of medicine in Illinois confirms the fact that "How you prepare fish is just as important as the type of fish in terms of seeing benefits
A test conducted on about 85,000 women has determined that just eating any kind fish does not help boost the heart health, but only baked and/or broiled fish help to keep the heart healthy. It is important to know this fact because keeping a healthy diet helps keep the body healthy and disease free.
A fatty acid (omega-3) found in the fishes was significant in lowering inflammation and blood pressure. The Omega-3 did not cause any changes on its own but was only effective when it was included with other chemicals from the fish (the whole fish had to be eaten to gain these results).
This area of physiology is very interesting as it brings to light how a single substance in the food we eat can cause some changes in our body, but it also needs many more substances with it to help the body stay healthy.
