Eating fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon can significantly lower the risk of a young women affected by heart disease, as reported by the expert from Denmark.
The researchers found that women of fertile age who never ate fish has a 50 percent higher risk exposed to troubles than women who often cardiovascular consume fish.
"We found evidence that although only a few times a month a woman eating fish, but they continue to benefit," research leader, from Marin Strom Statens Serum Institute, Copenhagen.
"But it is important to emphasize that, in order to get the greatest benefit of fish and fish oils, women should follow the recommendation to consume a diet of fish as a main dish at least twice a week," he added.
Strom and peer collected data on 49,000 women pregnant between 1996-2008. Researchers asked how much and what kind of fish that they eat-wished to know whether a particular type of fish consumed to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The woman aged around 15-49 years and they were also asked about the lifestyle and family medical history.
During the eight years of follow-up, there were 577-cardiovascular events including hypertension, stroke and heart disease-noted. Five women died from cardiovascular disease.
Overall it is known that women who get little or no fish intake at all more likely to be hospitalized related cardiovascular disease than those who frequently eat fish.
The researchers also noted, related cardiovascular risk is three times higher in women who never eat fish than women who consume fish high in omega-3, at least once a week.
"The best source to get omega-3 fatty acids is salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and Greenland halibut," said Strom.
According to Strom, research like this before just focused on men, and not women. "This is the first study that focuses exclusively on women of fertile age," he said.
