2. You avoid fish

As you may have heard, certain types of fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, and herring contain higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, “good fats” that don’t affect your LDL cholesterol levels. In fact, omega-3s help us maximize “good” cholesterol, while minimizing triglycerides and blood pressure, according to the Mayo Clinic.

That’s why you should try to consume a 3.5-ounce serving of fish, ideally a type higher in omega-3s, at least twice per week. Add some fresh salmon as the main protein for your salad or grill up an easy-to-prep salmon burger if you’re in the mood for a barbecue.

In fact, here’s a great recipe book that will surprise you with lots of delicious salmon recipes.
