Save The Skin
From Prevention – The Power Of The Peel
Quote: “When you squeeze a lemon (or peel an orange), save the skin. Scientist at De- Montfort University in the United Kingdom found that a compound in tangerine peel called salvestrol Q40 kills an enzyme that spurs the growth of human cancer cells. Previous research has shown that limonene, a compound found in lemon, orange, and grapefruit peel, might also decrease cancer risk.
Prevention suggest that you zest the peel of the well washed fruit and add it to soups, baked goods, tea, or yogurt.
Not All Fish are Created Equal
Does eating fish reduce your risk of heart disease? The answer is yes and no.
Without a doubt eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids reduces your risk of heart disease as well as several other diseases. Unfortunately there are some fish that are higher in omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s.
For economical reasons people are buying more farmed raised fish such as tilapia. A study conducted at Wake Forest University found tilapia high in omega-6 fatty acids and very low in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids lead to heart disease, blood vessel damage and cell aging, creating the health problems you are trying to prevent.
For the sake of your health include in your diet some mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon.
