Got Fish?

I know, I must seem like a broken record when it comes to omega-3 supplementation (specifically EPA and DHA). Here are a few more reasons to consider adding it to your daily diet:

In this study of patients already suffering from stable coronary artery disease, those with the highest levels of EPA/DHA in their blood had the lowest degree of telomere shortening (a marker for identifying a cell's lifespan). In other words, their cells were "younger" than those of people with lower levels of EPA/DHA.

This study shows the relationship between low levels of EPA/DHA and a higher incidence of nervous system diseases (i.e. schizophrenia, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders, Huntington's disease, etc.).

And finally, this study delves into the relationship between a diet high in EPA/DHA and lower incidence of colorectal cancer.

And these are just three recent studies over the past few months. Were I to dig, I could probably come up with 100 other examples. At the least, have some salmon for dinner tonight. This is my favorite way to eat it: Salmon Fillet en Papillote with Julienne Veggies. Bon apetit!
