WAYS TO COOK SALMON

There are so many ways to cook salmon, I dare say all delicious, and of course highly nutritious because of salmon's high Omega-3 oil content.

First, just what is in salmon? You'll notice that wild salmon, if you can get it, is rather better, but all fatty fish is rich in Omega-3 oil. That's the stuff that keeps your blood vessels clean, reduces depression and even will help your kid if he's misbehaving. Seriously. Ever heard of ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Pure and simple, an Omega-3 deficiency. Like scurvy is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, rickets ...

Oh, by the way, don't miss out on how rich fatty fish is in Selenium. That's the anti-oxidant that scientists have now proved that prevents adult onset diabetes. Not to mention the high zinc content, associated with wound healing, folate that prevents Spina Bifida... all good stuff.

PUFA (Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids)

1. PUFA's are divided up into Omega-3, Omega-6 and some other fatty acids.

2. Omega-3 is high in fish oil.

3. Omega-6 is high in seed oils like corn oil, safflower oil and sunflower oil.

4. PUFA's are "essential" in the diet. Your nerves and brain can't survive without both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

5. The ideal ratio of Omega-6 / Omega-3 should approach 1. Equal amounts.

6. The typical Western diet often approaches 30/1 and even 50/1. This is caused by serious Omega-6 overload, and a deficiency of Omega-3 rich foods. This high ratio is associated with a much higher rate of prostate and breast cancer, depression, heart disease, general inflammation in the body, Attention deficit disorders in children, and much much more.

How do we regain the balance in Omega-6/ Omega-3.

Consider the ratio A/B. If it's too high, we can either decrease A, or increase B, or better still do both.

Remembering that Omega-6 fatty acids are "essential" in the diet (the goal isn't to cut them out), our goal should be to drastically CURTAIL our Omega-6 intake. We're eating too much of it.

And secondly, to drastically INCREASE our Omega-3 intake.

How to DECREASE your Omega-6 intake

Yes, it costs more. You either spend your money on better food, or on visits to the doctor (and the undertaker!). Take your pick. But it also tastes better. OLIVE GARDEN SALAD DRESSING ...

FISH SOUP ...

GROWING BUTTERNUT SQUASH ... and a butternut soup recipe.

BROCCOLI AND SALMON SOUP

INGREDIENTS

1. 200g of canned or fresh salmon.

2. One onion, chopped.

3. One whole broccoli (or just many florets, if you grow it)

4. Two large potatoes, diced.

5. A little red chili if you like it hot. I do!

METHOD: Slow Food, Made Fast!

• Gently fry the onion in a little butter.

• Meantime, thinly slice the broccoli stalk, you can use the lot, and add to the onion.

• Dice and add the potato, the chili, some garlic if you like.

• Add a few cups of boiling water.

• Boil for about 15 minutes, and then add the salmon, and cook for another five minutes, or until tender.

• Blend. This is enough for about six portions. Have it for guests, or just enjoy for the next three nights.

• Eet smakelijk! as we say in Holland. Enjoy.

PS: I'll get a photograph, we make this every week, but the good wife has snitched my Sony for the weekend. She's in Barcelona for an internation meeting of Math bofs. Whilst the cat's away, the mouse can build web pages! And, if this is a little dysjoint you'll understand. By the way, I've just helped myself to 30 delicious Calamata black olives, no exaggeration, and a huge chunk of Feta cheese. That's my snack this evening. To go with the beer ...! Yes, I too have my sins!

WHY ON EARTH ON A CHIROPRACTIC WEBSITE?!!!

Aching all over? Think of more ways to cook salmon. Or, just one.

In Chiropractic we like to treat the root cause of the disease, rather than give Anti Inflammatory Drugs. In part, that means eating right. ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUGS ...
