Should we eat more fish?

[Naam Jai]

Does it improve brain function?
Would that make any difference to living here?
Make for a better community?
Solve our behavioural problems?
Improve learning difficulties?
Improve the diet?
Encourage more breast feeding?
Get smarter?
Have a greater regard for Eskimos?
Treat depression?
And other obsessive compulsive disorders?

Yes of course!

Would contributors consider increasing their intake of sardines,salmon,makerel and fresh tuna?

[Aardvark]

I'm a big fan of all the fish mentioned above and also "Snapper, Barramundi, Cobbler and [ EEK ] to some Anchovies. Love fish but must eat steak at least once a week or I'll die And Lahm chops

[beer monkey]

I like fish and eat plenty, never think about Eskimos only when i see one on a documentary , and breast feeding is nice.(without the feeding bit).

Accordingly intelligence must be inherited not acquired then?
But I will take your comment as a compliment.
Others might be more cynical, or at least suspicious.

A sort of second coming of a rock cake

Please don't decline to comment but do read my original closely before you do.

You too eh? I breast fed many an Inuit when I used to instruct desert survival.

[Aircraftdoc]

I say yes but has anyone asked the fish? They won't like it I bet

They won't like it but three seconds later they'll forget what you asked so it won't matter anyway...

[Zidane]

I eat fish quite regularly over here...Tabtim,Red & White Snapper,Mackerel etc.and always enjoy the meal.But I too never think about the eskimos,more like what type of beer to wash it down with !
But I try to balance my diet and eat chicken and my favourite roast lamb with mint sauce and roast potatoes !

Naam Jai,
Q 1 to 5, Ans. Not correct.
Q 6 Yes it does.
Q 7 to 11, Ans Not correct.

Have always been a fan of sardines, salmon, tuna and mackerel. A lot of myths were around for fish, but have been disproven over time.

[aznyron]

wizard on Q 1 to 5 ans not correct I am lost with your post I do know fish oil and omega 3 are very good for you and they come from fish that why it called fish oil LOL I also heard that red meat is NOT healthy for you / I also heard Chicken is good for you but the skin is fattening sadly I love the skin LOL / I think it would benefit most of us readers if you posted some results as to why certain foods are good and some are bad /

[Aardvark]

Ron, I dont know where you got the Idea that Red meat is bad for you. All the latest studies show that Red meat at least twice a week is very beneficial, with the fat trimmed off of course. Enjoying the skin of a Chicken is probably o.k. as long as its not every day. And Omega 3 fish oils are definitely good for your heart and your Brain function as well as preventing hardening of the Arteries. Just remember what your Parents always told you...." everything in moderation "

Q1 to 5. I am no scholar but will try and explain in Laymen's terms.
Q1. It was a myth that fish improves brain function. Any healthy type food will do this for you. You could eat if possible 5 kg of fish a day and your brain function will not alter. However the essential fatty oils, omega's found in fish improves your blood, bad fatty buildup and of course blood goes through the brain, cleaning it out a bit also.

Q2 to 5. Living here, better community, behavoural problems, learning difficulties is no. Eating fish would not alter those requirements.

Red meat is good for you in moderation. Yes cut away the excess fat and do not cook in oil. It contains iron, essential for the body, especially healthy for women. When you donate blood, they supply you with iron tablets for a quick fix because you would not be able to eat enough red meat in a short amount of time to replace the donated blood. You may have seen here in Thailand, women eating a lot of liver in their foods. Having said that, I never cut away the fat off a T bone or sirloin when doing a bbq, best part of the steak for me.

Also the chicken skin, its just fat, not much good for you, but love it also.

Q1, IS understood to improve childrens immediate and long term response to questions. Reduce the onset of Alzheimers disease and joint arthritic conditions, among other things. You can buy Fish Oils Capsules at the better pharmacies here. What we had as Cod Liver Oil as younsters during and after the war. Natural Omega 3 nutients as 12%EPA and 8% DHA.
Q2 - 10 are written with tongue in cheek, because if eating fish or fish oil capsules improves, one of the comedians who post here, as suggested, I will be more than delighted. Of course Q2 - Q10 do have a relevance. Just check it out on a search engine before shooting from the hip.
This thread is about fish, feel free to start one on the pro's and con's of red meat.

Naam Jai,
I was asked something by a poster re the red meat and answered it in a short reply. How about you checking out the original poster regarding the red meat and direct that last sentence to that poster.

And I maybe able to find on a search engine myths/fallacies which have proven to be only that. Your turn, back to you.

[BobHelm]

It is a great pity that so many things are given medical credence largely because of medical experiments which are of dubious reference to human beings.
One years "fad" is next years danger & visa versa.
Couple of actual cases of this in the UK....
1. Eggs are good/bad for you depending on which year you are in.
2. Fish - cure for everything one year, serious danger of mercury poisoning the next.

Just remember what your Parents always told you...." everything in moderation "

Is just about the best advice anyone is likely to get on the internet- for diet or life.

[Guns482]

Doctors will tell you everything in moderation, you can occasionaly excess one or two times, however more than that can lead to problems.
Excesses of the flesh are an exception though
