The American Heart Association recommends 1000 mg of EPA+DHA per day for patients with coronary heart disease, and two
meals of oily fish per week for people without heart disease.
The Heart Foundation suggests this can be achieved by eating a combination of two to three 150g
serves of oily fish per week and by supplementing your intake with fish oil capsules and omega - 3 enriched foods and drinks.
I'm a practicing optometrist and recommend that all my patients regardless of age or health (except those on blood thinners or a week before surgery) eat about a
pound of oily fish per week (about 4 - 5 servings) like wild salmon, sardines, and sablefish (black cod).
This can also be achieved by consuming two to three 150g serves
of oily fish per week and by supplementing your intake with fish oil and omega - 3 enriched foods and drinks.
