Want more essential omega-3 fats but worried about levels of contaminants in fish, the richest source of the heart-healthy nutrient? A plan omega-3, called alphalinolenic acid(ALA), was just as potent as the fish type in two recent studies. In a 23 person Pennsylvania State University study, eating the most ALA rich foods slashed early measures of atherosclerosis by 75%, the highest ALA intake cut rish of sudden cardiac death almost in half in a 16 year Harvard study of 77, 000 women. Try to get a total of 7 g of ALA each week.
