<description><![CDATA[I love a good piece of salmon, but I have to admit that salmon oil is not currently floating my boat. I have been taking it for years, but lately, I've just been having the hardest time choking those little golden capsules down. I know it's good for me, but I'm tired of the two-to-four-times-daily routine and I wish there were another way. Furthermore, the off-the-shelf brand I've been taking for years is getting more and more expensive and I'm not sure I'm even getting all that much out of it other than that my armpits sometimes smell like fish...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the most common complaints that I get from my kids about fish oil supplements is that they are just a pain in the neck. I know, I know: it can be pretty hard to take that five seconds to swallow your fish oil supplements at each meal. But for some reason, my kids just hate that process. I have no idea why, but I get so tired of having the argument. So I talked to our doctor to see if there was a good solution.]]></description>

And then, when I took a look at our healthcare budget, I had to make some tough decisions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When it comes to teenagers, mood swings, stress and volatility are pretty much the norm. So at first, when I noticed that my sweet fourteen-year-old was getting a little sullen and moody, I did not think much about it. Even when I backtracked over the year and reviewed her health history and realized that she had been catching more colds and missing more school since starting high school, I still chalked it up to the stress of becoming - slowly - an adult rather than a child. Acne? Same thing.]]></description>

However, since the most commonly accepted source for omega 3s is fatty fish - think tuna, swordfish, and mackerel - many people actually feel that they must make a decision between omega 3 health and potential mercury poisoning.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you have ever heard of fish oil being a "healing fat," then you might have thought that description sounded a little odd. After all, don't fats usually come in packages that are inherently bad for us, like candy bars and ice cream? However, some types of fat are actually good for you, and they can help your body heal faster when it is damaged internally or externally by cutting down in the inflammation involved with the damage.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you have ever dreamed that all of your teeth fell right out of your head, then you know how wonderful it is to wake up and find them still in place. However, that feeling that they might be loose - or gone - stays with you for the rest of the day, and sometimes many days. In fact, I have made dentist appointments simply because of such a dream because I wanted to hear from the dentist that my teeth were still firmly fixed in my mouth. I know what you're thinking: "Obsessive much?"]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For years, doctors have been recommended the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet to patients who have cardiovascular disease or who just want to shore up their defenses as they age. Mediterranean diets, which are heavy on olive oil, vegetables and fish and light on red meat and high-fat dairy, are extremely popular among people looking to accomplish everything from lowering cholesterol to beating the potential for heart attacks and strokes.]]></description>

A study in Japan, where lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, found that men and women who ate cooked or raw fish five times or more a week had half the incidence of lung cancer compared to people who ate cooked or raw fish once a week or less. Furthermore, consumption of dried and salted fish did not appear to impact lung cancer incidence one way or the other.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When I first started taking fish oil to get my daily omega 3 dosage, I simply could not get enough. Every morning when I popped those capsules, I thought about taking four at a time instead of two, or even five or six. "After all," I was thinking to myself, "I want my memory to get better now, not over time! I want to feel my heart getting stronger tonight, not next month or next year. If I take more fish oil, won't I get healthier faster?" Well, in theory, that practice might work, but in reality it is not such a good idea! I'm glad I did a little research on the topic before I started cramming fish oil capsules down my throat, because it turns out that fish oil is, by far, best in recommended doses and moderation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have been taking salmon oil capsules for years. In fact, I've been taking them so long that I actually got to tell my doctor "I told you so" when she finally gave in under the overwhelming body of evidence that fish oil is good for your heart that has been building since the 1970s and started recommending that all of her patients, including me, eat salmon at least twice a week. So I am pretty familiar with fish oil, and I know that while I am certainly a lot healthier because I have been taking salmon oil, there were times over the past years when I wished that I had some other way to build up my cardiovascular strength.]]></description>

In fact, if you're like me, about once a month in the shower you remember to "feel yourself up" and look for lumps, then you go on with your daily life for the next, oh, 25 to 40 days, before recalling that it's been a while since you checked and you probably ought to do it again. And most doctors say that at least until you're in your 40's or 50's, that's fine.]]></description>

We currently take a daily omega 3 supplement, but those are kind of expensive and I would love it if we could just meet our daily needs by eating the foods that we eat anyway. But I did notice that those foods are more expensive, so I wasn't sure if it would really make that much difference anyway. So - I'm sure this will surprise you - I decided to do a little research!]]></description>

In some cases, it's that I already need to be able to touch my toes or angle my foot behind my head. Other times, I have to change my entire eating lifestyle, opting for "green smoothies" over cereal or reducing my food intake to radicchio and almonds. Sometimes, it's even more straightforward: they just plain want my money! Sometimes, I just wish that a healthy lifestyle didn't have to "fit," but that I could "stretch" it a little to make it work for me.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you are like most people, then there are times when you may feel like an idea or thought is right on the tip of your tongue but you cannot quite grasp it. It may be someone's name, the answer to a math problem or an idea that you think would solve an issue at the office. It can be really frustrating, and even a handicap if it becomes too serious of a problem or happens too often.]]></description>

While this can be symptomatic of a physical issue - for example, when you have a cold your sniffling and sneezing inherently makes other activities more difficult - in most cases focus, or lack thereof, is a product of invisible issues that may be related to your state of mind. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So this morning after I gave myself a brown sugar scrub in the shower, smoothed my vitamin serum onto my face, applied a healthy layer of SPF foundation and put on my gentle-on-the-skin, wrinkle-hiding mineral makeup, I went out to the kitchen and did something that took less than a tenth of the time it took me to do all that other stuff and probably cost less than any one component of that entire beauty regimen.

However, as most people who have been through at least one pregnancy know, it also comes with a cap on the amount of fatty fish that you can eat. Generally, doctors recommend against pregnant women eating fatty fish like tuna more than once a week, and most women opt to avoid these types of fish all together to insure that they do not jeopardize the health of their baby by absorbing too many heavy metals and other contaminants allowed by the FDA in small amounts in these types of fish.]]></description>

However, Israeli researchers have recently brought a new twist on this long-time warning to the table. In recent studies, patients who needed the effects of aspirin for a variety of illnesses including heart trouble but who had been compelled to take stronger medications instead due to aspirin-resistance were found to experience the effects and benefits of aspirin more readily when the over-the-counter medication was taken in conjunction with doses of omega-3 rich fish oil.]]></description>

However, in the past, most doctors fail to emphasize this, feeling that the evidence was not substantial enough or solidly supported by the medical community. Over time, the American Heart Association (AHA) did come out with a recommendation that people consume 2 servings of fatty fish like tuna, mackerel or salmon each week, but this recommendation, many researchers believe, comes far shy of providing anywhere near enough omega 3 fatty acids to a diet.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We've all spent maybe a little more than we meant to on wrinkle cream, but I expect pretty much all of us can agree that money spent on a good anti-aging serum or cream is money well spent.

These diets are promoted as both heart healthy and a great way to lose weight. In addition, they are viewed by many as a solution to a nutritional problem: a shortage of omega 3.
