Fish Consumption Can Reduce Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Time, July 18, 2011
The USDA has recommended that more Americans eat fish.  Premature death and the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced by consuming more fish.  Farmed fish represents 84% of the 7 million tons of fish consumed every year in the U.S.  Unfortunately, most of this fish comes from countries that do not follow sustainable farming practices.  Environmentally friendly fish farms are non-polluting and provide sustainable fish choices for the dinner table.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Markets like Whole Foods display their fish sources and their website is a plethora of information regarding environmentally friendly farmed fish.  Know where your fish is coming from and try to do your part to help the environment, while helping your own health!
