00:00:03.052 --> 00:00:07.034 
Studies show that omega 3 fatty acids in
fatty fish can help reduce blood 

00:00:07.034 --> 00:00:10.732 
pressure slightly but have clinical
significance, especially in people with high blood pressure. 

00:00:11.412 --> 00:00:15.462 
Patients should eat salmon, mackerel,
sardines, and fish in the morning 1-2 

00:00:15.462 --> 00:00:19.512 
times a week to supplement 2-3 grams of
omega 3 per day. 

00:00:19.972 --> 00:00:22.792 
Experts recommend prioritizing fresh
fish steamed, boiled, grilled, avoid 

00:00:22.792 --> 00:00:25.612 
fried or canned fish with a lot of salt. 

00:00:26.152 --> 00:00:29.932 
Fish oil can help lower blood pressure
slightly but is not as effective for the 

00:00:29.932 --> 00:00:31.192 
heart as eating whole fish. 

00:00:31.192 --> 00:00:34.139 
People who are taking anticoagulants or
blood pressure medications should 

00:00:34.139 --> 00:00:36.792 
consult a doctor before increasing their omega 3 intake.
