Balance?
On our last trip back to Alaska I found that the brand of wild Alaskan salmon and fish oil blend we were getting in Canada wasn't available, and I haven't found it here at home either, so since then I've been using a fish oil concentrate of anchovy, sardine, mackerel and soy but am still looking around. It has 1200 mg of fish oil concentrate, 216 mg of Omega-3 (EPA) and 144 mg of Omega-3 (DHA) per capsule, and I take 2 of these a day. I eat a handful of walnuts every day (more than I should). I have 2 tablespoons of freshly ground flax seed in 1/4 cup of unsweetened soy milk with added stevia. I use only olive oil for cooking and salads. I eat fresh salmon 1-2 times a week, fresh halibut once every otherweek, canned tuna, no beef or pork, occasional organic chicken, organic eggs, a little organic butter, and a little organic sour cream. I use about 1/8 teaspoon of turmeric a day just in various foods. I don't use sugar in anything but I do sneak in a small piece of dark chocolate here and there so that I have at least one imperfection! I don't know if I've done a good job of balancing my fats or not. I eat salad and fresh-steamed veggies with dinner. I haven't been able to figure out how to add any fresh fruit to the diet without steadily gaining weight.
Other supplements: a multivitamin, 1/4 of a 200-mg selenium, CoQ10 50 mg 2 x a day, vitamin D3 400 IU, 2 Viactive calcium/magnesium/vit K/vit D.
