Are you currently eating fish because you want to get the benefits of its heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids? Well the way the fish is prepared can affect the amount of omega-3 fatty acids you actually eat!
What did they find?
New research has found that the best ways to get the most omega-3 fatty acids out of your fish is to boil or bake it rather than to fry, salt or dry it. Moreover, adding low-sodium soy sauce (shoyu) and/or tofu further enhances the benefits. In fact, eating fried, salted, and dried fish may not even provide you with any of the fish’s protective properties and may even increase your risk of disease! (American Heart Association, 2009)
