If you've survived a heart attack, I'm sure it's not an experience
you're eager to repeat. Fortunately, there's an easy way you can
strengthen your heart and help keep another attack from occurring.

You may have heard that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are good
for your cardiovascular health. That's certainly true. But researchers
weren't sure how beneficial they were for people who had already
experienced a heart attack. They decided to find out by dividing a group
of 358 people who had experienced an acute myocardial infarction into
two groups for a double-blind placebo-controlled study. One group
received a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids and the other group received
a placebo for six months.

The researchers used an MRI to evaluate a number of factors related to
the participants' cardiac structure and heart tissue, both before and
after the study. In particular, they were looking for reductions in the
participants' left ventricular systolic volume index and noninfarct
myocardial fibrosis. The patients taking the omega-3 fatty acids showed
significant reductions of around 5% on both measures compared to the
placebo group. Those whose omega-3 fatty acid levels went up the most
experienced even better results. They had approximately a 13% reduction
in left ventricular systolic volume index compared to those whose
omega-3 levels went up the least.

Moreover, the participants receiving the omega-3 fatty acids experienced
significant reductions in their systemic and vascular inflammation
levels. You probably know by now how important mitigating inflammation
is to your overall health! None of the participants experienced negative
side effects from the omega-3 fatty acids either.

If you've suffered a heart attack previously (or want to avoid one in
the first place), I highly recommend that you make sure you're getting
plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. While many fish are rich in these fats,
most of us don't eat enough seafood on a regular basis to keep our
levels sufficiently high. A supplement is an easy way to ensure you're
getting enough of these healthy oils. My favorite is Complete Daily Oils,
which features a blend of both fish- and plant-based oils to give you
both EPA and DHA. You'll also get CoQ10, mixed tocopherols, and
alpha-lipoic acid to further support your heart health.
