Fish is a good source of protein and has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the risk of CAD as it is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Red meats should be limited due to their high saturated fat content. Margarine should be limited due to its high trans fat content and butter should be avoided as it is high in saturated fat.
