3)     Eat fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines and bluefish which are XXXXXXX in omega-3 fatty acids and avoid fried fish and fish with high levels of mercury, such as tilefish, swordfish and king mackerel.

4)     Avoid processed snacks, baked goods, shortening and stick margarines, saturated fats, refined sugars, sweets, icre creams and refined carbohydrates.
