Eating Salmon helps lower your blood cholesterol

High cholesterol! This term seems to be highly used when dealing with today’s health topics! It is the yellowish material in your arteries which narrows the blood vessels. But they are not all bad for you. You can lower the bad type of cholesterol (LDL - low density lipoprotein) and increase the good type of cholesterol (HDL - high density lipoprotein) by altering your diet. LDL is responsible for clogging your blood vessels and HDL helps to “exile” the LDL to the liver where LDL is “destroyed”. Hence it is beneficial to have higher level of HDL and less LDL in your blood.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon is an excellent source to boost up HDL in your blood stream. Omega-3 fatty acid is, indeed, a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids which can only be supplied by food sources. (more…)

Top Myths about Seafood

Avoid seafood to lower blood cholesterol
This is definitely the number one myth about seafood. Seafood in general contains a high level of cholesterol; however it is low in saturated fats. Cholesterol found in seafood and other meats has little effect on blood cholesterol in most people. Saturated fats and trans fatty acids are the most important factors that raise blood cholesterol, not dietary cholesterol! Saturated fats are usually found in meat products and packaged foods. Trans fats, on the other hand, are also found in packaged snack foods, deep-fried foods or firm margarine containing hydrogenated oil.

Limit fish intake because it contains mercury
Everywhere I go, people often ask me which fish to eat and which fish to avoid. Obviously, they have read the FDA’s seafood advisory. However please note that this advisory was directed to warn pregnant and nursing women as well as young children only who are most prone to mercury toxicity; it was not supposed to be for the general public. There is really no need to be fear of fish. (more…)
