Eat Salmon? Go Wild
When it comes to eating your omega-3 fatty acids salmon often seems your best choice. It is high in omega-3s and easy to come by as well as easy to cook. A new study reveals that wild salmon is more heart healthy than its farmed cousin.
Pregnant Ladies — Don't Fear Fish
When the FDA and EPA warned pregnant women about mercury levels in fish, consumption of this healthy food dropped dramatically. Women were told not to eat more than 12 oz. a week, but confusion about which fish was OK to eat and fear about getting too much mercury made women give fish up altogether.
Breyer's Yogurt With DHA Omega-3
I don't know about you, but when I see products fortified with nutritional supplements like antioxidants and Omega-3s, I am always more than a bit skeptical. Whole foods are my thing, and the term "enhanced foods" seems like a sci-fi term and an oxymoron. I did make the switch to buying OJ with added calcium, but I'm skipping the Omega-3 eggs, since many companies can't back up their claims.
Get Hot: Spicy Salmon Rub
I am all about multi-tasking these days. So why should I expect less from my food? Here's a spicy rub to use on salmon steaks to reap the benefits from both the hot spices and the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon.
What Does Your RDI Look Like: Vitamin D
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she was on her way to the beach to get her "daily dose of Vitamin D," she said. While it's true that 10-15 minutes of sunshine (ultraviolet-B), 3 times a week, is all the time your body needs to produce the required amount of Vitamin D, I wouldn't use it as an excuse to go out and bake in the sun. Remember that too much sun exposure can lead to skin cancer.
Best Summer Foods from The F-Factor Diet: Salmon
I am loving this new book, The F-Factor Diet ($16.47). The basis of the book is to make sure that the foods you eat the most of have enough fiber. I love the idea of adding more fiber into your diet, not only for weight loss, but also for the amazing benefits it brings (reduced risk of heart disease).
Eat Fat - Burn Calories?
It may sound weird to include fat in your diet when most of us want to dissolve the fat we already have.
A low-fat diet was all the craze, but studies now show that increasing your fat intake a little (to 30-35% of total calories) doesn't translate to bad news on the scale. By including healthy fats in your fiber-rich and lean protein diet, you may find it easier to lose weight permanently, stay fuller longer, and avoid the binging that packs on the extra pounds.

What's the Diff: Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s
Omegas are all the buzz right now, and it seems like everywhere you turn, new foods are being enhanced with this essential fatty acid, or labeled as an excellent source. What people don't know is that there are different types of omegas, and eating too much of one kind can actually be harmful to your body.
Omega-3s are found in flax seeds, walnuts, cod liver oil, and fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, albacore tuna, and salmon.
