It’s high season, so we don’t hesitate, go mackerel! Scomber scombrus is indeed full of omega-3, these fatty acids known to reduce blood pressure, limit the formation of blood clots and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. And according to a recent study, doubling or tripling the commonly accepted dose necessary for the body (1.1 to 1.6 g/day) to 3 g would have a real effect on blood pressure, especially that of hypertensives, ensures a study on the analysis of 70 clinical trials for more than thirty years (Journal of the American Heart Association, June 2022). For that, you would have to eat about 120 grams of mackerel per day, or a small fillet. You can get tired, but it’s not insurmountable: baked, barbecued, with mustard or white wine, there’s something for everyone. And, at less than 10 euros per kilo retail, it’s not expensive. Useful in these times of rising food prices.
