What Can A Little Fish Each Day Do For You?
Supplementing with omega-3 oils - rich in EPA & DHA - have been found
to keep blood free flowing, vessels flexible and help protect people
from heart attacks.
But superior heart health isn’t all that fish oil can do for you.
There’s much much more! Omega-3 supplements, high in EPA and DHA, can
help people with depression, PMS, arthritis and other inflammations,
such as migraines. They’re also important during pregnancy, nursing and
infancy when a baby’s eyes, nerves and brain are developing.
If you’re using omega-3 without EPA and DHA, you’re wasting your
money. For example, you’ll probably be surprised to find out that
although flaxseed has omega-3 oils, there is no EPA or DHA in it.
Fats from fish (salmon, trout, cod, halibut), sesame seeds, flaxseed or
soybeans improve most skin conditions including psoriasis.
Supplementation of the diet with flax seed oil, evening primrose oil or
fish oils is recommended. Cod liver oil or salmon oil capsules are more
palatable for those with less enthusiastic appetites for fish. These
high essential fatty acid foods interfere with the body's production of
inflammatory chemicals, the ones causing psoriasis lesions to swell and
turn red.
Specific therapeutic foods for controlling asthma are:
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: vegetable, nut, seed oils, salmon,
herring, mackerel, sardines, walnuts, flaxseed oil, evening primrose
oil, black currant oil. Take at least 1 T of one of raw oils daily to
minimize bronchial inflammation.
Warning. Eating farm raised salmon.
When you eat a farm-raised fish, you are nearly eating the same type of
meal as eating beef. The fat content of the fish can be no different
from what they are fed.
Farm raised fish are fed corn meal, soy and canola oil. When the fish
are fed these foods, the concentration of their fats turns far away
from the ideal, beneficial 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio to a ratio
far
closer to the 20:1 found in commercially-raised beef.
Several weeks ago the FDA agreed with the EPA and now recommends that
all pregnant women avoid fish as up to 10 percent of them have high
enough mercury levels to cause neurodevelopmental defects in their
children. So fish oils are the next best alternative. Although some of
them are old fish and even the inners are sqeezed for the oil so be
sure you know where the fish oil comes from.
So make salmon a part of your diet at least this month buy Copper River
wild salmon from Alaska then go back to taking salmon oil capsules and
eating canned salmon for the rest of the year.Avoid fish that are more likely to contain mercury including swordfish, shark, tuna, king mackerel and lobster. Limit canned tuna, and if you're not sure about a fish, don't eat it.Shop in conscientious markets that include sustainability in their mission. Talk to the fish guy or gal; find out where their fish comes from and what their policies are. At least that is what I got out of all I read this month on salmon and fish oil supplements.
