Don't Like Fish?

Fish is a top source of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart attack. But what if you just don't like it's flavor?

A study in England holds out hope that you can get nearly as much benefit from plant foods, which contain alpha-linolenic acid, a substance that your body converts into omega-3s. Blood tests on people who ate fish and those who never touchd the stuff suggest fish avoiders actualy become more efficient at making that heart-healthy conversion.

In fact, omega-3 levels were only about 10% lower in those who steered clear fo the fish counter. The best sources of alpha-linolenic acid? Walnuts, flaxseed, tofu, and canola and soybean oils.
