12 easy steps to a stronger heart

Did you know not all omega fatty acids are created equal, especially when it comes to your heart? Omega-6s (in oils, poultry, nuts) are common in our diets, but many of us don't get enough omega-3s (in fish, seafood, flax), which boost heart health. If you don't eat much fish, consider a fish-oil supplement, or simply eat more fatty fish. Kristi Prince, a naturopathic doctor in Toronto, says to eat fish from the SMASH group (sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon and herring), which offer the highest amount of omega-3s per serving.
