Omega-3 Fatty Acids are the Good Guys in the Fat Pool. To up your good cholesterol, down the bad cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease, include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods containing these heart-healthy fatty acids are fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, sword fish and albacore tuna. For vegetarians, the best way to get stroke-busting fatty acids is to cook with flaxseed oil and flaxseed flour.
