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).

One golden rule is never store fruits and vegetable together. The acidity of the fruit makes the veggies rot faster. Apple - Store them in the coolest part of the fridge. Celery, carrots, and cabbage - pack them in plastic, some use foil but you have to consume it as soon as possible. And with carrots some cut the leafy part of it, cause that's the part that rot fast.  I tried cutting the carrots in cubes and putting them in the freezer, that should work for a week. Eggplant - Usually I put them inside the fridge, but not now. You h...
