More fish, less strokes- pass the salmon, please.

11/6/2012

0 Comments

 
     There are over 300,000 people in the US who suffer a stroke each year,  especially those with a personal and/or family history of heart disease, diabetes and clotting disorders.

     The aftermath is uncertain and often ranges from paralysis to difficulty speaking and other far-reaching effects.  Since the damage is already done by the time someone knows they have a stroke, prevention is key for this potentially devastating disease.

     Research published last week in the British Medical Journal found that those who ate fish 2-4 times a week had a 6% less chance of a stroke, and those who ate fish 5 times a week had a 12% less chance of having a stroke.
     Fish has been long recognized as an "anti-inflammatory" food, meaning that it reduces, rather than stimulates an aggravation of your immune system when you eat it.  Just remember, that there is a wide diversity of fish out there, and be cautious in your choices.

     Wild-caught Alaskan salmon, for example, has higher amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids and bioflavonoids than farmed Atlantic salmon- which is "pinked up" by artificial dye to look as healthy and fresh as its wild counterpart.

     And when considering species of fish and fishing practices, over fishing and other environmental concerns (not to mention heavy metal content such as Mercury), it can at first be difficult to find a healthy source of fish that you feel good purchasing. Take a look at Environmental Working Group's Safe Fish List and this Sustainable Seafood Shopping Guide for pointers, recommendations and further reading.

     Here's to your good health.

School lunch's pizza day a thing of the past?

4/19/2011

What was your favorite school lunch item?
I'll admit mine was the chocolate milk; less than healthy choices such as mine may soon be a thing of the past.

School lunches are in the cross-hairs of the current legislative activity aimed at improving children's nutrition.  Last year, Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-free Kids Act, showing how concerning our children's lunchtime food choices are (even the presidents getting involved here!). 

Today's Washington Post featured an article titled, "School lunch debates heat up," where author Jennifer LaRue Huget asks:
"...whose responsibility it is to decide what to feed America’s schoolchildren, who should determine what’s healthful and what’s not, and what role [do] parents play in that decision-making process. We also have to consider whether serving nutritionally sound meals at school is itself part of the curriculum; teaching kids what foods are best for their bodies by offering such foods at lunchtime."
So whose responsibility is it that kids eat healthy lunches?

Shouldn't it be everyone's?

If healthy meal choices are made at home, then children will (by extension) bring healthy lunches to school.  And for those who are provided meals at school (for parental convenience and/or reduced-price), then shouldn't this be where the schools step in with healthy choices?

If childhood (and adult) epidemic levels of obesity and diabetes are to be reversed, we need to take what kids eat seriously. 
When nutrition becomes a value that we as a society act upon, only then will children benefit and chronic disease stats decline.  Until that time, Lunchables will continue to be the top lunchtime trading commodity, and our following generations will grow evermore unhealthy and overweight.

I love to hear all of your comments, questions, and suggestions for upcoming articles.  Feel free to contact me any time!
Thanks for reading!
-Angela
