1. Salmon
Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. A study found that women who ate more omega-3 had lower levels of inflammatory markers in the blood, which might explain the effects of these fatty acids in preventing cardiovascular disease.
The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish (particularly fatty fish) per week week. Other fatty fish like albacore tuna, herring, lake trout, mackerel, and sardines are also high in omega-3 fatty acids.
