SITTING is the NEW SMOKING - MENTAL HEALTH

  The negative physical impact of sitting is very well established.

  There is increasing evidence that sitting for prolonged periods can have a negative impact on your mood and mental health. Your brain depends on good blood and oxygen supply, and optimal glucose metabolism in order to function at an optimal level. Prolonged sitting hinders all these.

  Intermittent Movement is the answer. Try not to sit continuously  longer than 30 minutes. It is easy to accomplish when you plan for it. Stand up, do some squats, side lunges, walk up and down the stairs, convert to a standing desk.

EATING FISH

 Recent studies have found salmon fraud in many eateries. Farmed salmon being mislabeled as wild salmon. Wild Caught definitely has more nutritional value due to its higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids and lower levels of pollutants (mercury, etc.). Alaskan salmon is wild caught, Atlantic is farmed.

 If you are ordering salmon or other fish in a restaurant or market it is helpful to know where they buy the fish and what part of the world it came from.
