Best Fish for Your Heart and Brain - AOL
AOL’s guidance highlights choosing fish lower in mercury while prioritizing varieties rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support heart and brain health. It notes that tuna and swordfish are among options high in mercury and says consumers should generally look for fish high in healthy fats and relatively low in mercury. The article spotlights wild Alaskan salmon, citing omega-3s DHA and EPA and the presence of vitamins and minerals including potassium, B12 and selenium, plus the carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin. It also points to sardines for their low mercury accumulation due to being low in the food chain, and describes rainbow trout as a low-mercury, responsibly raised freshwater option rich in omega-3s and vitamin D. The piece begins to cover herring as similar to sardines, but the provided text cuts off mid-sentence.
