Oily fish (Mackerel, Herring, Sardines) contain Omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat which can help to reduce total blood cholesterol. Omega-3 in the diet protects the heart and circulation and may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. We should have one of these fish meals at least once or twice a week.

Actually it does in a lot of cases. This is only because it thins the blood some, making it harder to form a buildup in the blood vessels. Even in vessels with some buildup, the blood flows through more easily. It is said to help some people with memory too for the same reason. My grandmother's heart doctor recommends that all of his patients and their families take Omega 3 tablets.

It's vitamin E, a blood thinner. So YES.
