On Tuesday，a new study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation：Heart Failure revealed that women who ate five or more dishes of baked fish a month had a thirty percent lower risk of heart failure in comparison to women who ate less than one dish a month.

Researchers examined the diets of 84,493 women，whose ages ranged from 50 to 79.The women who had eaten lots of baked fish like salmon（鲑鱼），were more healthy than those who mostly ate tuna（金枪鱼）or white fish. Eating baked fish also appeared to provide a protection against high blood pressure. The study also found that those women who ate more baked fish were likely to have a lower weight，exercise more and eat more fruits and vegetables in comparison to those who ate fried fish.

Researchers noted that past research had discovered the fatty acids（脂肪酸）in fish probably decreased the risk of high blood pressure by improving blood pressure along with heart and blood functioning. This study showed the link between eating fish and heart failure risk but it was not designed to show cause and effect.

This study also showed that just by eating one dish of fried fish a week led to a 49% greater risk of heart failure，and eating fried fish led to lower fiber（纤维）intake and higher calorie（卡路里）intake.

The American Heart Association suggested eating a minimum of two dishes of fish especially fatty fish each week.

Recovery from bulimia（贪食症）is difficult，but a beautiful journey！You'll come across many challenges—but once you've beaten them，the world will look much more beautiful. You can recover from this illness—I promise！Remember：If I recovered—you can too!

I began throwing up（呕吐）when I was just a kid. Back then I didn't know why I did that. But now I can see that it was the result of my seeking so called fashionable diets.

I was only 8 years old when my aunty phoned my mom saying that I'd thrown up my dinner.I told them it was just a party trick，and they ignored it. Their reaction made me realize that this “trick” of mine should be a secret. I would continue doing it，but would never let anyone know.

As I got older，this secret habit got more and more serious，and this carried on for years. During my first year of university，at the age of 20，I wasted over $20,000 on food from the school dining hall.

Finally，after having had bulimia for nearly 12 years，I decided enough was enough. I was close to death—I could feel it in every part of my body. I needed help，and I made an appointment with a counselor（顾问）of my university. One year later，I graduated from university. I was proud of myself for getting my degree. But there was a deeper pride and strength inside my mind. I had beaten bulimia. It had been a long and difficult road—but I'd done it.
