Young women who regularly eat fish have a significantly lower risk for heart disease.
Researchers in Denmark studied nearly 50,000 women between the ages of 15 and 49. They found those who never or rarely ate fish had 50% more heart problems than those who ate fish regularly.
Even women who ate fish only a couple times per month say a benefit, but the biggest improvement in heart health was seen among those who had fish twice a week.
