the american heart association recommends eating fish at least two times per week of 3. 5 ounce servings. oily fish such as salmon mackerel herring lake trout and albacore tuna are the highest in omega-3 fatty acids. if you don't like fish or are unable to consume it that often then supplementation with fish oil makes sense. check with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate amounts. another supplement you may want to consider is vitamin d as low levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease. i recommend getting a blood test to determine your blood levels. your doctor can help recommend the amount you need to get your levels to normal. most people don't get enough vitamin d because the main source is the sun. a multivitamin may be appropriate if your diet is inadequate but there is no evidence that they help prevent heart disease -- a healthy diet is much more important. while supplementation makes sense in some cases this article points to lifestyle changes you can make to significantly decrease your risk. good luck!
