Fresh fish may be a delicacy of summer, but did you know it could also help lower cholesterol? For many people summer time is the time to enjoy fresh fish on the grill or other seafood that is abundant this time of year. The Omega 3 fatty acid found in most varieties of fish can also help significantly lower cholesterol.

There are some guidelines in selecting the best fish sources for lowering cholesterol. The fatter, oilier fish are best. There are however benefits from many other types of fish, although not as great.

The top fish choices for getting the most cholesterol lowering Omega 3 fatty acid are the cold water varieties including albacore tuna, Atlantic herring, lake trout, pink salmon, and Pacific mackerel. You will also receive benefits from blue fish, channel catfish, halibut, swordfish, and yellow fin tuna.

Supplements that can be found in most health food stores containing Omega 3 fatty acids do not benefit high cholesterol sufferers as much as the fish itself. There are other benefits that you can get from Omega 3 supplements including reducing the risk of heart attack. The Omega 3 works to loosen platelets in the blood and prevent build up within the arteries.
