250 mg of Omega-3 EPA and DHA found in fish is required

Some interesting news... A recent meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that a minimum of 250 mg of Omega-3 EPA and DHA found in fish is required to reduce the risk of some coronary heart diseases. Researchers found that 250 mg of EPA/DHA was associated with a 35 percent reduction in the risk of sudden cardiac death. Researchers also found a 16 percent decrease of non-fatal coronary events.
Interesting numbers... Statistics published by the American Heart Association (AHA) show that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single leading cause of death in America with 425,425 deaths in the United States in 2006, and 1,255,000 new and recurrent coronary attacks per year. AHA also states that about 34 percent of people that experience a coronary attack in a given year die from it.

Welcome to my healthy pulse...

Hello and welcome... I'm a 40-something, healthy male (well, I thought I was very healthy), and have just been released from hospital after recovering from what was determined to be a small heart attack. This was the result of a small blockage that was preventing full blood flow through the veins. I'm now home, recouping, digesting the results, and commencing my new, heart smart lifestyle. Here I'll share with you my progress, my experiences, and the challenges I face.

Please note, I am not offering any professional advice in any way, rather, my personal opinions and feelings. If you are experiencing chest pains of any kind, particularly if you also are feeling something strange in your arms (perhaps a tingling or weakness in limbs) and/or a light headed feeling or cold sweats, then get yourself to an emergency room ASAP. You should know that visiting a doctor or clinic with this symptoms will only result in them re-directing you to emergency so save yourself the time and head there directly.
