    Health Benefits and Health Hazards of Fish

    February 13, 2020

    As healthy eaters, we acknowledge fish health benefits, but buying and cooking fish can be disconcerting because of the health hazards surrounding fish. Fish is the largest single source of wild food in the human diet as well as the product of a rapidly growing branch of farming. Fish are a source of important nutrients such as protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Types of Fish All fish are broken down into two very broad categories – FISH and SHELLFISH.

    October 31, 2019

    Yes, this year I turned the big 50 and no – my body does not act like it used to. As our years begin to add up, maintaining a healthy weight is more difficult – believe me I know! I can remember being 140 lbs on my wedding day – that was 20 years ago – and boy, I am nowhere near that now. Unhealthy habits, having a sedentary job, and metabolic changes (which are beyond our control) can contribute to weight gain after 50. However, recently, I discussed some adjustments with my family doctor, which I want to share with you, that can help us get back in better…
