Most people don’t consume the recommended two servings of fatty fish per week to help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. “Enjoy salmon, herring or sardines twice per week for an omega 3 boost. Even tuna cooked in the can (some brands do this) provides a few grams of omega 3 fatty acids,” says Harris-Pincus.

Think outside the box and try fish in new ways. “A whole grain cracker topped with avocado, sardines, and a squeeze of lemon is delicious,” she says. And don’t forget about canned salmon! It’s available any time, is affordable, and is so easy to incorporate into salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes and more.
