FISH OIL LOWERS THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE

FISH OIL? Is there really an oil in fish? Funny! I thought that fish has no oil since it is commonly eaten by people
Generally fish oil is a mixture of lipids. Not literally means greasy oil as I thought. These lipids are from cold water fish. These fish has eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the major content of fish that helps restore the body's equilibrium after stress or injury.

Here are the benefits of fish oil:
  • Lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and heart attack (it lessen the changes in heart rhythm).
  • Reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
  • Helps visual development in premature babies.
It is also said that eating fish lessen the risk of chronic bronchitis and emphysema (calling all smokers).

Many tend to conclude that whatever the benefits of fish will be found in fish oil supplement.  It makes sense to me. Plus count the fact that whatever the impurities of fish is already eliminated in fish oil supplement. (Which is good.) Some fish today has mercury content because of pollution in water.

Junk foods for you and for me

Most of us love eating junk foods especially the kids and my kid is one of them. Oh how she loved eating chocolate like me. Green & Black's Organic Chocolate Bar, 70% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 10) It is sad but true that most of our kids today have junk food on their diet. These foods are loaded with high calories, fats, and sugar, but very low in nutrition.

Easy breakfast recipe for kids

As a working mom, we tend to always be in a hurry all the time specially in the morning. The challenging part is cooking healthy food for the family. I would like to share with you this easy recipe, not just easy but healthy as well. Korean inspired with a twist. Korean love vegetable a lot so I incorporated some sprouted mung beans here. 2 scrambled eggs 1/2 cup sprouted mung beans 3 tbsp all purpose flour Pinch of salt 1 tsp sugar 4 left over fried fish Water to dissolve the flour in runny consistency. Oil for frying. Pepper as desired Onion chopped small bits Just mixed all the ingredients and fry in small amount of oil in high heat to have the browning effect. Oh watch the fire not to burn the food. After a minute turn the fire medium low cover the pan to cook evenly. After 2 to 3 minutes flip it and do the same procedure to the other side. High heat to medium low heat and cover. It can be a snack or partnered with rice (I preferred hot rice ) You will thank me...

BABY RASHES

It hurts to see your baby crying out loud because of that reddish thing that you see on her diaper lining. These are diaper rash or diaper dermatitis; it is caused by diaper staying wet on the skin, rubbing of diaper on the skin and some chemicals that blend with the diaper that is found in urine and stool. Common causes are: ·          If the wet diaper stays long on babies, especially if they sleep for long hours and we are unable to change it. ·          If the baby is already eating solid foods. The chemical content on their stool and urine might change causing the rashes. ·          Constant rubbing of skin.
