Eating oily fish 'halves rheumatoid arthritis risk'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23668505

Mackerel is a fatty fish that is rich in omega-3

Eating at least one portion of oily fish, such as salmon or mackerel, a week can halve the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, experts believe.

The findings come from a study of more than 32,000 Swedish women and they offer another reason to follow the established dietary advice of regularly consuming fish for good health.

A fishy diet is beneficial because it is rich in omega-3, say researchers.

Omega-3 is said to protect both the heart and the brain.
