Eating fish may reduce the risk of heart attack but watch out for mercury
Thursday, April 3, 2014
Eating fish may reduce the risk of heart attack, but it is important to steer clear from the type of fish that contains the most amounts of mercury, according to experts from Umeå University in Sweden.
The researchers have worked together with teams from Finland and other countries in order to assess whether the advantages of heathy fatty acids outweigh the risks of mercury proportion.
Previous research has said that individuals who consume fish have a decreased risk of heart disease, compared to those who eat none or very little. However, certain types of fish carry pollutants from the environment, which can be detrimental to the health of humans.
Methyl mercury, which can be found in many types of fish, may actually raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. Theore, consuming fish with a lot of mercury, or with ample amounts of pollutants, can severely increase the risk of heart problems. However, if people are too health conscious of fish, they increase their risk of the disease because they are not receiving the benefits of healthy fish.
A recent study said that tuna, which has high levels of mercury, should be given to children less often.
The current research, which will be published in the October 2012 issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN), was carried out with the intention of finding a middle point between not eating any fish and eating too much, or types that are unhealthy.
The authors analyzed why heart attack risk is linked to the amount of mercury and omega-3 fats in the body due to fish consumption. They did so by measuring hair and blood samples of volunteers who had been involved in other trials in eastern Finland and northern Sweden. The blood samples of the Swedes were taken from the Medical Biobank in Umeå. Researchers compared blood from the patients who had suffered a heart attack after their check-up appointments and those who remained in good health with no heart attacks.
They found that while mercury content increased the chance of heart attack, omega-3 fatty acids decreased the risk. The researchers noted that higher risk of heart attack due to mercury consumption was only prevalent when there was a large amount of pollutants found in the body. If there was a high level of omega-3 fatty acids, the risk was low.
The findings suggest that it is important and beneficial to reach an equilibrium between healthy and unhealthy content found in fish. In this particular study, the environmental pollutant used was mercury. However, in regards to organic pollutants, such as dioxin and PCD, the results are the same. The authors note, though, that there has been no trial done thus far concerning these substances.
According to the Swedish National Food Agency, 2-3 servings of fish should be consumed per week. However, Swedes tend to eat predatory fish, which have a high amount of mercury and should not be eaten on a regular basis. In addition, a study conducted by the National Food Agency revealed that 7 out of 10 people in Sweden do not eat enough fish.
A 2011 study said that people who eat fish on a regular basis have lower blood glucose concentrations, and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The researchers conclude that it is safe, as well as beneficial, to eat fish, but staying away from fish with high levels of pollutants is important in avoiding health problems.

What the hack....... there are ways to lose weight and you should focus these days on a long life together with the ability to enjoy your life.
The pursuit of health and the ability to move independently through your life is an ongoing research project, it is really not going to end. Although there are various diets and weight loss plan available, but what works for one does not work for all.
As our body ages, it starts to break down, part by part. Our challenge is just not to keep it alive, but we should maintain it for a well and pain-free run. As we grow older, we move less. Not good for the body. For those, with huge waists are needed to get in shape quickly by weight loss, chances are as real as thick waist can land you in trouble. Research conducted at the University of Southern California ers to the type 2 diabetes latches on easily for those with excess fat around the abdomen. Reasons that are still under the scanner.

| Watch your waist |
what can be adopted..
In Japan which is one of the trimmest nations on this planet, they added a new dimension to the fitness tests for them.
They measure waist lines of people, in addition to regular health check-ups. This is to keep the disturbances such as diabetes away. By the way, the rule for men is 33.5 inch waist, and for women is 35.4 inches. Any one exceeding the limits is warned, put on a diet and re-measured some months later.
There is a section in our population that will think this is too much. Especially when very few people in Japan suffer from weight gain. Just sumo wrestlers with the exception, and that it must be huge if they really want to get anywhere in their career.

What can be done? So, how we can keep the average person away from wasting the waist?
First of all, I advise you to check the diet. Go moderate in all of those things you really want. You can eat favorite foods such as chips as treats rather than included in the daily diet. Always remember that there are really no shortcuts to trim your waist. There are ways to lose weight and u should walk on those, you must exercise at least for 30 minutes each day, 30 minutes cardio is the minimum one needs to stay healthy as our lifestyles require it.

Be caul and remember, doing those ABS crunches alone will not work at all. Besides you may land up with an injured back if you go overboard or do them wrongly. Research conducted by several authorities throughout the world says a human being needs to take 10,000 steps a day to stay in shape. Basically, your body needs to burn the calories you eat. When you burn 3500 calories , you will drop by only one pound of fat in the body.
Well, its not exciting, and I agree, but then, is all about moderation. Besides, if you do those steps 10,000 a day, adding just 2000 more to make the miles you use an extra 100 calories. In the long run, say one year, you could land up becoming a 10 pounds (a little less than five kilograms) lighter than in reality without reducing your food intake.
So are you struggling to keep ur waisteline at bay....
can you share how you are doing it with me in comment section.... and thanks for reading
Watch out fish oils increase the risk of prostate cancer!
Monday, March 17, 2014
Watch out, fish oils increase the risk of prostate cancer! - Everyone knows that fish oil rich in omega-3 good for the brain. Fish oil even believed to reduce the risk of brain diseases such as Alzheimers. But in either benefit that is owned by fish oil, it turns out fish oil can also be dangerous.
Recent research suggests that fish oil rich in omega-3 may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Pira who have high levels of omega-3 at highest risk of up to 71 percent of prostate cancer.
"Fish oil supplements can be harmful to man if taken in high doses," said researcher Theodore Brasky from Ohio State University Medical Center, as reported by NBC News.
Previous research in 2011 also showed that fish oil associated with advanced prostate cancer are dangerous. The research also found that the effects of omega-3 found in fish oil is higher than the fatty acids found in vegetable oils.
Proprietary research Brasky conducted on 934 men with prostate cancer and 1,393 men who did not have cancer. They then grouped based on the level of omega-3 in their blood. Men with levels of omega-3 highest risk 71 percent of prostate cancer. While in general, they have the risk of prostate cancer is 44 percent higher than men with levels of omega-3 the lowest.
Fatty acids found in vegetable oils are known not affect the risk of prostate cancer. Yet researchers still have not discovered how fish oil can cause cancer. Researchers even have taken all the risk factors that influence and found that mercury in fish is not associated with prostate cancer.
By knowing the results of this study seem to men should begin to regulate the consumption of fish and omega-3 supplements. Although omega-3 can reduce the risk of heart disease and diseases of the brain, but if taken in excess can also harm men.
