Week 2: MOOD FOOD: Include one omega-3-rich food in your diet every day this week, June 8-14, 2020.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for the structure and function of the nervous system. Deficiencies in omega-3s are connected to cognitive and mood disorders. Include omega-3-rich foods such as mackerel, salmon, herring, oysters, anchovies, flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts in your diet every day to give your brain a boost.

We had broiled whitefish for dinner with brown rice/quinoa mixture, and mashed potatoes. Didn't get a pic, but did get one of the smoked trout before dinner! Was a real Lake Michigan dinner.

As a Bavarian-American, I love left-over german potato salad tossed with romaine lettuce, hard boiled egg and tuna. A Nicoise that even the French can appreciate.

Waldorf "salad" made with Splenda sweetened plain yoghurt is a really filling dessert.

I try to integrate chia and flaxseed daily. Eating fish is not sustainable and too polluted for wild fish, and farmed fish have antibiotics added and cause water pollution from fish farms, and animal protein causes inflammation and multiple health issues. Fish get their Omega-3 from ALGAE so just eat the ALGAE and skip the earth-hogging animal products. You will be healthier and more pain-free! Imagine pain free joints and lower back! YAY!
