The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 ounce cooked, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption through foods is preferable. However, those with coronary artery disease, may not get enough omega-3 by diet alone. These people may want to talk to their doctor about supplements. And for those with high triglycerides, even larger doses could help.

Health care cost is at an all time record high according to the Insurance and Financial Advisor (IFA). Insurance also is at an increase in premiums over prior years.

Prevention of cancer and other diseases is paramount as advances in early detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer and other health conditions are available and accessible by most Americans. Diet is certainly one area where we can be in control and make a difference.
