為什麽每個星期都要吃鮭魚？

Salmon is king of fish oil. All fish have fats called omega-3s, but salmon is one of the richest sources. Omega-3s are major players in the prevention of heart problems and may help with controlling inflammatory problems like arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. There are three general classes of drugs commonly used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and remittive agents or disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

Almost all US and Canadian nutritional experts recommend that people include at least two servings of fish a week in their diets. For Instance the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation’s spokesperson and nutritionist Rosie Schwartz says.

Although many people may be tempted to supplement their diets with fish oils, experts advise: if you want to increase the amount of omega-3 fat in your diet, the best way is to eat more fish such as salmon, trout and mackerel. Eating broiled, baked or steamed fish two to three times a week is a good way of increasing the omega-3 fat in your diet.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and seafood have been linked to the following health benefits:

Lower Incidence of Heart Disease and Stroke
Reduced Risk Of Sudden Death
Reduced Risk of Heart Attack for People with Diabetes
Anti-inflammatory Effect
Help for Bones
Lower risk of dementia (including Alzheimer's Disease)
Healthy Brain Function
Anti-depression
Reduced Incidence of Premature Delivery
