Abdominal fat isn't only unattractive, it's also more dangerous than fat in other areas. But whether you're large in the middle or not, consider this interesting fact: Studies show that eating high levels of omega-3s can potentially "counteract the effects of eating too many calories."

And just how do you boost your omega-3 intake? One word: Fish. You should be eating healthy catches like fresh, wild salmon on a regular basis. Not a fan? Omega-3 supplements, ground flax seed and enriched foods can help you get your share.
