Salmon, Tuna 'Prevent Heart Attacks'
Eating oily fish like salmon or tuna at least twice a week could prevent a heart attack, a study suggests.Doctors in the United States have found evidence to suggest that the omega-3 or n3 oils in this type of fish can stop dangerous irregular heart rhythms, which can trigger an attack.
The study is the latest to highlight the potential health benefits of eating oily fish or taking supplements.
Previous studies have shown that they can protect against heart disease and stroke.

Omega-3s May Alleve Depression
Women may be able to significantly lower their chances of becoming depressed during pregnancy and postpartum months by eating fish that's rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, says a large National Institutes of Health study.
More good news concerning the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, especially wild salmon, is a great source of Omega-3s.

Smart Eaters Go Wild With Salmon...
The flesh of this hard-swimming Pacific native tastes wonderful, especially when it's caught wild, in season, close to home. Now is the time. California's wild salmon season opened May 1 and the fishing fleet sped straight out to the Farallones, chasing reports of a monster school of glittering, fat kings gorging themselves on ocean critters.
I recommend indulging in the salmon at Ana Mandara, a high-end Vietnamese restaurant owned by Don Johnson. Make sure to ask for wild salmon, which is much higher in beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. The atmosphere is wonderful and the fish is out of this world.
Eat right. Live better.

Womb Time Drops When Hungry Mama Conceives
BBC News: "If you don't eat enough just before conception and early in your pregnancy, you may be increasing the odds you'll have a premature baby, a new study suggests. The researchers, from Canada, New Zealand and Australia, believe the finding may shed new light on the 40% of premature births for which there is currently no obvious explanation. "Omega-3 fatty acids, found in many fish, also serve to reduce the number of premature births.
There seems to be more and more evidence which confirms what our mothers told us: "You are what you eat."
