Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don
“ just think of all the ybilmglsve to be thankful for ” , it is
know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are n aturally cutt ing dow n their in take of saturated （ 饱禾口 的）fat. But a grow ing body of evide nee collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful eleme nts called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids bel ong to a group of compo unds known as pol yun saturated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules （分子）that regulate blood pressure.
Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans （大豆）.
The America n Heart Associati on has recomme nded that every one eat two 85-g serv ings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.A pills will protect your heart. It
