By age 50, 2-in-3 women will have thinning hair, too. So what can you do about it? Get more Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet! Experts say getting 3 servings a week of shrimp, tuna, salmon or mackerel can increase your hair’s strength and thickness by 38% That’s because seafood contains essential Omega-3s AND selenium and copper, which speed the repair and replacement of hair follicles, and boost the body’s natural production of keratin, the protein in the hair shaft, so hair is thicker.

Are you always tired?

If you’re constantly exhausted, even when you sleep enough, you might need more B‑12! The vitamin boosts production of energizing and mood-boosting chemicals, like dopamine and serotonin. That’s why the two classic signs of low B‑12 are lack of energy and blue moods! But the best natural sources of B‑12 aren’t so popular: Like sardines, mackerel and organ meats, including liver and kidneys. So ask your doctor about taking a thousand-microgram supplement. That can reverse fatigue and cut your risk of depression in half within 3 weeks. You can also get B-12 from foods like beef, salmon, milk, fortified cereals and soy products.

The health benefits of wine and grilled fish!

How does a nice piece of grilled fish sound, complemented by a crisp glass of wine? That combo is a one-two punch for heart health. Both the fish and the wine are healthy on their own. But a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found the combination of the polyphenols in wine make it easier for our cells to absorb the Omega-3 fatty acids in the fish. And just 5 ounces of wine will do the trick.

And if you add a side dish of red peppers with garlic to your wine and fish, it’ll trigger the production of blood-vessel relaxing compounds – which will help lower your blood pressure – and boost your heart health even further.

Reduce your risk of skin cancer:

B3-Nicotinamide2-wp

Here’s a relatively cheap way to drastically reduce your risk of skin cancer: Pop a vitamin B3 supplement. The University of Sydney found a derivative of B3, nicotinamide, can prevent up to a quarter of non-melanoma skin cancers.

Nicotinamide is the water-soluble, active form of vitamin B3. It’s also commonly found in meat, fish, nuts and mushrooms.

And in a study of nearly 400 people, those who took the B3 supplement slashed their risk of developing basal and squamous cell carcinomas by nearly 25%. And those two types of skin cancers account for 80% of ALL skin cancer cases. The study used a 500‑milligram supplement – but talk to your doctor about it first. And make sure you’re taking the active form of B3 with nicotinamide. That’s what turns off cancer-causing pathways.

If you want to live at least two years longer – or more – eat plenty of fish! That’s the gist of research from the Harvard School of Public Health… which found the Omega-3 fatty acids in fish lower our risk for heart disease, depression, asthma, Alzheimer’s and more. The types of fish with the most Omega-3s include salmon, albacore tuna, lake trout, herring, and mackerel. And the researchers recommend eating at least two servings a week.

Having a tuna sandwich for lunch one day a week – and grilled salmon for dinner one night – could be all you need to sleep better. The journal Sleep Medicine found people who have two servings of oily fish a week sleep deeper and more soundly than those who eat less fish. That’s because the omega‑3 fatty acids help the body produce more sleep-promoting chemicals. That reduces nighttime awakenings and increases vitamin D levels, which help improve sleep, too.

Burning fat is as simple as eating fatty fish…

…like wild salmon and sardines, three times a week. According to Kyoto University in Japan, those who eat a diet high in fish – or omega-3 fatty acids – gain up to 25% less body fat than those who don’t consume as much fish. The reason? Fish oil turns our white fat cells – the ones that create our love handles – into brown fat cells. Those are the kind that rev our metabolism and help us burn more calories! So, make fatty fish a bigger part of your diet to lose weight.

It’s easy… Eat wild salmon 3 times a week. That’s it. According to the Cleveland Clinic, adding 3 servings of salmon to your weekly diet can help you lose a pound a week – without exercise – and give you the energy of someone 12 years younger! That’s because of the combination of Omega-3 fatty acids – and antioxidants called carotenoids, which give salmon its bright peach color. They increase the body’s ability to burn stored fat for energy. And help fortify cells against free-radical damage – so you don’t age as quickly.

You’ll have a 62% lower risk of developing malignant breast cancer. According to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, women on a Mediterranean Diet, who consumed 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day, got the biggest benefit. It’s down to the oil’s antioxidants, which have been shown to kill cancer cells and halt tumor growth. So splash some extra virgin olive oil on your pasta, in your salad, and as a marinade with herbs on chicken or fish.

Salmon. Eating two 4-ounce servings of wild salmon a week makes you 42% less likely to suffer hearing loss. That’s according to a large-scale study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. If you can’t get wild salmon, tuna and mackerel will do the trick too. Why does it work? Because the omega-3 fatty acid in these fish improves blood flow to the inner ear. Those fatty acids guard your eyes too, by protecting the cells that deteriorate with aging.
