I went to Kmart the other day and since its the only place I can find Brunswick brand Sardines in olive oil, I grabbed some 10 cans and put it my cart , I went home and the first thing I did was open a can and had my delicious fish finger food, Sardines in olive oil.
Now why would I do such a thing? Well it taste good, yes some brands taste better than others and some taste like its been sitting their for ages. The deal is buying the right brand, and I noticed that brands of sardines that were imported from Canada , Morocco, Spain and Europe taste much better than those imported from Asia.
Sardines and other fatty fish contain Omega 3 fatty acids and one can of Sardines and many fish like red salmon contain lots of it. Yes Sardines and other fatty fish are both delicious and nutricious! Omega 3 fatty acid from fatty fish or in some cases from fish oil, are nutrients that are good for the heart, brain and eyesight. Omega 3 can protect you from sudden death, depression and save you from having macular degeneration or atleast slows the process down a whole lot.
People who ate "good" oily fish one to four times a week reduced their risk of an abnormal heartbeat called atrial fibrillation by nearly a third. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the upper two chambers of the heart beat faster than normal. These are found mainly in oily fish , not only sardines but fish such as herring, kippers, mackerel, pilchards, salmon, fresh tuna, trout and anchovies. They are also found in green leafy vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to reduce the stickiness of the blood, making it less likely to clot, and prevent the heart from beating irregularly.
I also noticed by eating more fatty fish such as my favorite Sardines, my heart isn't having palpitations as it used to, so that is always a good thing, these palpitations can be life threatening so in the end eat your fatty fish, especially if you eat alot of other things that aren't good for you , this may actually help keep you alive.
