Inexpensive Quality Fish Oil

An analysis of 38 studies concluded that eating fish regularly is associated with fewer strokes, but fish oil supplements do not seem to help. Interestingly, the type of fish and how it is prepared seem to make all the difference.



































I like the Costco lowest cost option.

Caution with Energy Drinks

The FDA has released reports showing deaths and other serious adverse events associated with the use of energy drinks like 5-hour Energy. As ConsumerLab.com reported in September, these small "shot" drinks can pack more caffeine than 2 cups of regular coffee. While the caffeine can keep you alert, there are a number of concerns to bear in mind and suggestions on how to more safely use these drinks. 
 
Energy drinks were also reported as a possible cause of over 13,000 emergency room visit in 2009.
 
In order to avoid major problem, limit your intake to not more  than 

  • 2 cans of Red Bull per day 
  • 1 bottle of 5 Hour Energy or Monster Energy M3 per day

Also 

  • do mot mix energy drink with alcohol, and
  •  do not drink all at one time
