Eat Wild Salmon At Least Twice a Week to Protect Your Heart

Remember to eat wild salmon. Yes, farmed salmon has more fat than wild salmon, but a much smaller percentage of that fat is from heart-healthy omega-3s and a much larger percentage is from pro-inflammatory omega-6s. Because, as we’ve seen earlier, the ratio of anti-inflammatory omega-3s to pro-inflammatory omega-6s is a big issue in the field of anti-aging (and human health in general), this is a disturbing piece of news.

FOUR STEPS TOWARD EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. Acknowledge Some one : An acknowledgement is a simple statement of another's value. It's a small act that can contribute enormously to the well-being of another and will also make you feel good at the same time.You can acknowledge the most significant person in your life, or you can acknowledge a stranger, or both.
