Although the term “fatty fish” may turn you off a little bit, certain types of fish such as tuna, sardines, and salmon contain healthy types of fat that are good for both the body and brain. It will be important for you to get a significant amount of healthy fats in your diet and fish is the perfect way to go about doing this.

Salmon along with other types of fish have what is called “Omega-3 fatty acids” in them which have been proven to help lower triglycerides which are the truly bad type of fat that is found in the bloodstream. These omega-3 fatty acids may also be able to slow down the development of plaque in the arteries which is a common cause of heart attack among many people.
