Micronutrients & recovery
Consuming 35 grams or more of fish daily is associated with a significantly lower 30-year risk of fatal myocardial infarction, specifically nonsudden death, compared to non-consumption.
To potentially lower your risk of fatal heart attacks over the long term, aim to eat at least 35 grams (about 1.2 ounces) of fish every day. This study found that this specific amount was linked to a significantly lower risk of dying from heart attacks, particularly those that develop over time rather than suddenly. You do not need to eat large quantities; a small daily portion appears sufficient to confer this benefit.
for men who consumed 35 g or more of fish daily as compared with those who consumed none, the relative risks of death from coronary heart disease and from sudden or nonsudden myocardial infarction were 0.62 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.40 to 0.94) and 0.56 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.33 to 0.93), respectively... These findings were accounted for by the relation of fish consumption to nonsudden death from myocardial infarction (relative risk, 0.33; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.12 to 0.91; P for trend <0.007).
Why this rating
Longitudinal prospective cohort study with 30-year follow-up and multivariate adjustment, though observational design limits causal inference.
