Off Subject.....That’s not just a fish tale.

This is a little off subject but I am writing a book, ‘Good Choices’, covering; food as medicine, supplements, and organics and I do go into health in this blog. People have stated their interest with their buying habits and it seems the medical field is catching up with the rest of us who know how to stay healthy and away from doctors. This will be in the book, in fact all the additions on health in this blog will probably be in the book. That said, the emerging research on Diatomaceous earth cannot be ignored and will be the main focus of the blog.
The following is short but one of the most important subjects in health for adults but even more so for children. If only I had this knowledge when raising my son. No, children do not generally like fish except maybe tuna which has mercury, a little DE will take care of that. And, NO, fish sticks don’t count, check the label. (They are not FDA obliged to list all the ingredients and in fact are given full range to exclude the mention of MSG as an additive and can even, and often do disguise it as something else. More on that later.

We humans are so overwhelmed these days. I believe using information about our health and taking is to the lease common denominator. The following list of 4 things are an example of what we can do to help us stay on top of things, reduce anxiety, depression, and brain fog. If you can conquer just those things we can all live a little easier. Hope this information helps you as much as it has helped me.

That’s not just a fish tale. Take a look at some recent research on fats.
Studies across the globe — from the United States and Canada to the United Kingdom, Australia, and Argentina — suggest that the more linoleic acid from soy oil people in these countries eat, the more dramatically homicide rates rise. But here’s the kicker. When people eat more omega-3-rich seafood, murder rates go down!That’s not all. Research shows that people who eat fish are less likely to be depressed, and that EPA, a type of omega-3 fat, may even help treat depression that doesn’t respond to other approaches. There’s also evidence that women whose breast milk is high in another omega-3 fat called DHA have lower rates of postpartum depression.
These healthy fats aren’t just for grown-ups. In fact, kids with dyslexia (difficulty reading), dyspraxia (difficulty writing), attention deficit disorder, and other learning disabilities tend to be deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have found that when kids supplement with fish oil, their reading, spelling, and behavior improve. It’s clear to me: Your nervous system needs omega-3s to function.

Want to reap the benefits of omega-3s? Here’s how:

1. Find out the omega-3 content of your body. Just click on http://efaeducation.nih.gov to learn more about omega-3s. You can also download an interactive computer program that helps you make better food choices.
2. Eat more omega-3 fatty acids. You’ll find them in foods like wild salmon, herring, sardines, anchovies, flax seeds and oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds.
3. Eat less linoleic acid. That means cutting way back on soy, safflower, and sunflower seed oils and foods made from them — that’s most processed and prepackaged foods.
4. Consider supplements. Unless you subsist on a diet of wild Alaskan salmon, you may not get optimal levels of omega-3s from food alone. Look for fish oil capsules that are purified and metal- and pesticide-free.
From the research I’ve mentioned here, it’s obvious that omega-3 fatty acids are a crucial part of a healthy diet. Without enough of them — and with too much linoleic acid — your brainpower really suffers. Fortunately, fixing the problem, and improving your health, can be as easy as following the steps above.
