Not only is this meal delicious, it can also be good for one’s health. With American Heart Month coming up in February, it’s important to note that research has suggested that white wines are as good for the heart as red, and they can have positive effects on cholesterol levels. Plus, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish are good for the heart. Eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack.
