Canadian Pharmacy Together with Study Researchers Show How to Take Care of a Woman's Heart

The study published in May 2011 in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure, and authored by Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, a preventive cardiologist and Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago suggests that baked or broiled fish protects a woman’s heart from developing heart failure and disease, and lesser possibility of taking Canada drugs .

The study researchers monitored more than 84,000 postmenopausal females for an average of 10 years and found out that those ladies who eat at least 5 servings of either baked or broiled fish per week are 30 percent lower at risk of heart failure in comparison to women whose diet included less than one serving of either baked or broiled fish per month.

"A direct relationship between fish and heart failure is not necessarily intuitive because you might expect it protects against heart attacks," Dr. Lloyd-Jones stated.  "But that's not the mechanism in place here, and I think that's kind of interesting. It's also interesting that how you prepare fish is just as important as the kind of fish you're eating."  That is, previous studies have shown that fried fish increases the risk of heart failure and disease, and eventually results in the intake of Canadian prescription drugs .

"We may not know the other components but that's why eating fish is better than taking a supplement," he added. "You really need to eat the food. This is clearly an important part of a healthy dietary eating pattern."

The study certainly pointed out that participants whose diet and nutrition comprised of baked and broiled fish are more likely to be healthier and younger compared to those who consumed more fried fish.  Also, they are physically superior – active and fit.  In addition, they were better educated, non-smokers, and have lesser occurrences of diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

"What we don't know is have these women been eating five servings of baked and broiled fish all of their lives, or is this something they started in their fifties?" according to Lona Sandon, R.D., Assistant Professor of Clinical Nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "They may also have a more active lifestyle and eat less saturated fat. So there are a lot of differences, probably, in overall nutrition intake."

Since other factors were not covered it is assumed that those women who showed beneficial results from eating broiled and baked fish may have also practiced a healthy lifestyle in the first place, and were able to avoid the consumption of synthetic Canadian drugs .

"Certainly it's promising that baked and broiled fish essentially had a protective effect," Sandon said. "That goes along with what we know in other studies - something about fish is good for us. Something about unfried fish is good for us as well."
