Fish...... Should I or Should I Not? Friend or Foe?



A cold blooded animal with so much health benefit... hmm... Do you know that eating fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acid regularly could lengthen your lifespan...?

 Large amounts of Omega-3 fatty acid found in salmon , mackerel, herring or tuna in your blood stream could prolong your life.....what are you waiting for to start enjoying this delicacy.

 Fish contains Heart-healthy protein and fatty acid,thus meals rich in fish lowers the risk for a heart disease.

 I understand why most people shy away from eating fish......Fear of Contaminant! hmm.... True that.... 

 Imagine the high level of pollution in the marine environment ....The figures are alarming...!
The question is this...Should we forgo Fish because of the contaminants they may carry? The contaminants of most concern today are mercury,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCE's), dioxins and pesticide residue.... 

People tend to carry out a lot of hideous activities ashore and the resultant products tend to find their way to the water thus contaminating our fishes....

 People residing close to the shore transfer sewage into the water....Large Industries discharge hazardous effluent into our water....Farmers love to have their farmlands close to water bodies as it enables easy irrigation..GOOD! But often times fertilizers and pesticides are washed into the water leaving the marine animals to suffer.....

 Most of these sea animals have adapted to their environment taking on some of the constituents of these hazardous deposits.....

 The truth is avoiding Fish is certainly one good way to stay away from Mercury or the PID;s but is that the wisest choice given the benefits of eating Fish?

 Is this supposed to discourage us?

 My vote is Fish is a Friend.......!

 What is your vote?...................FRIEND or FOE?

 Living Healthy!!!!

Manual Handling.......Possible Cause of Backache?

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body. A good example of such is the Orthopedic Mattress. In performing house chores,vacuum cleaners,long brooms or brushes can be used to avoid bending and twistin...
