This is The Amount of This Food You Should Be Eating

The latest CDC statistics on Cardiovascular disease are rather grim; With an alarming number of approximately 659,000 people dying each year in the US alone, CVD is not to be taken lightly. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death not only in the US, but also worldwide. Previous studies have shown that eating more seafood was associated with a reduction in all causes and CVD-related mortality. Seafood is known to contain the following: heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fats Iron Iodine (during pregnancy) Choline Based on information published by the FDA, Choline, for example, supports the development of the baby’s spinal cord. The iron and zinc found in fish help to support children’s immune systems. Protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and selenium are also other sources of nutrients derived from fish. Nonetheless, many people choose to limit their seafood consumption because of fear of mercury exposure from seafood.

About

The owner/editor of "A Kitchen Lab" has been cooking since the age of nine. He often recalls the days his mother told him that it was time for him to learn to cook because she wouldn't be around for long. Unfortunately, after receiving a few cooking lessons from her, she died one year later.



Today, cooking -especially creating different recipes- is one of his favorite leisure activities. He has been running a small cooking class on Saturdays for approximately 11 years, where he has been teaching participants to cook with different fresh herbs, spices, fruits, wines, and beers. He is also the author of the book "Creative Cooking - Delicious Fruits, Vegetables, Wine & Beer Recipes." 


Specifically, he created this blog to share his cooking secrets, tips, ideas, and techniques. In addition, in this blog, he will also be offering a few recommendations on essential kitchen tools that get the job done the right way and much easier and faster. Last but not least, although the nourishment from food is the mainstay of our lives, at the same token, some foods can be very detrimental to our bodies. For this reason, he has decided to share some information on certain foods, food additives we should try to avoid, and precautions that we should take when preparing food in general.

Though he has 7.5 years of experience working in Agriculture, 4 years in food/dietary, completed courses in nutrition, and has thoroughly researched all information, you should also do your own research. This blog is not designed or intended to provide medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider with all nutritional or other medical questions.

FYI: He believes that if we could all make it our duty to help somebody in this life, our living will not be in vain!

Conducting Research -  One of The Most Reliable Online Sources
This is what I learned in graduate school; When conducting research, you should never forget that the quality of research you find in your explorations at the library and the Internet may vary significantly. However, one way to practically assess the quality or reliability is to determine whether that research has been juried or non-juried. 

 Juried versus Non-juried  Research
A juried (or refereed) research report has been judged by respected colleagues in one's field and deemed to be of sufficient quality and importance to warrant publication.

For instance, the editors of many academic journals send submitted manuscripts to one or more reviewers who pass judgment on the manuscripts. As a result, only manuscripts that meet specific criteria are published in the journal. This is the reason these journals are often referred to as peer-reviewed journals. 

On the contrary, a non-juried (or no referred) report appears in a journal or on the Internet without first being reviewed by one or more experts. No doubt, the quality of some of these reports is excellent, but others may not.

As the reader, one important skill you need to have is reviewing the work of others and evaluating the quality of their methods, results, and conclusions. This can be easily accomplished in some cases, but this can be a bit more difficult in others. However, if you take the time to develop your ability to evaluate other researchers' work, you will better understand how to improve your own research efforts.

An excellent way to do this is to search for several research articles relevant to your interests. Then, as you read and study the themes, consider the questions in the above checklist.

FYI: You can also check out some of my recipes, pictures of some of my dishes, and the stories behind them at my other website FoodsVibes.com

P.S. While you are here, I should also take this opportunity to let you know that I do have a blog on "Personal Care and Beauty." @ www.beautyandBody.org. There's a ton of information on natural beauty products, personal care tips, advice, and more. So, please go a check out this site. You won't regret it, I promise you!

Self - Care - You Need to Know This

Though frequently used interchangeably, "salt" and "sodium" are not the same thing. Sodium, a mineral, is one of the elements found in salt. In fact, most of our sodium comes from salt. 70% of the sodium we eat comes from processed (packaged) foods and restaurant foods. The recommended limit for sodium is 2,300 milligrams (mg) per day for people 14 years and older. However, people in the U.S. consume 3,400 mg per day on average! Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. Ninety percent of American adults are consuming more sodium than is recommended. While more than 4 in 10 Americans have high blood pressure, in non-Hispanic Black adults, that number increases to almost 6 in 10. Not only adolescents but also children are eating too much sodium. Evidence shows that children who eat foods higher in sodium can carry those eating habits into adulthood. Steps You Can Take to Cut Back on Sodium Try to eat less of the foo...
