Summer is nearly upon us and with it comes seafood season! But did you know that the type of fish you’re eating and how it’s cooked matters, and can even impact your risk of heart failure?
A new study published in the journal of the American Heart Association (see below) found that the risk of developing heart failure was lower for older women who frequently ate baked or broiled fish and higher for those who ate more fried fish. Additionally, dark fish like salmon were found to be healthier for the heart than tuna or white fish, such as sole.
Heart-healthy eating is important for everyone, but it’s especially important for the nearly 26 million people in the U.S. who have type 2 diabetes, and who are 2 to 4 times more likely to have heart disease and stroke than people without the disease.
