I’ve been invited to participate in this week’s edition of the Grand Rounds, a carnival of medical blog entries, and I’ve submitted my entry on 9 suprisingly healthy foods. It’s an edition you readers of Eating Fabulous shouldn’t miss, as this week’s theme revolve around food and diet.
Although all entries beg reading, here are my […]
Here’s a more direct reason why we should encourage healthy eating in children, particularly a diet rich in fish and whole grains. Fish and whole grains may protect against asthma.
After adjusting the results for possible confounding factors, [snip] Tabak reports that high intakes of whole grains and fish were associated with a 54 and 66 […]
Last week, we were able to consume the recommended 2 servings of fish a week. I had three, because I had to take care of the left-overs one time. Unwittingly, I was doing something to ease my black mood, possibly more than the piece of chocolate that served as my comfort food.
A new study published […]
Although it has been suggested that the benefits of eating fish on cardiovascular health and mortality far outweighs the risks due to environmental pollutants, I suppose that is assuming one eats a variety of fish types.

Here’s another feat for fatty fish: A recent report […]
I picked up Michael Anuzis’ Top 8 High-Utility Foods via this week’s Healthy Eating, Dieting & Fitness Blog Carnival. I like the way he used the phrase, “high-utility” and “for special purposes” to introduce and entry about functional foods… or mostly functional foods, at least. The miso, rice ball and carbs don’t count, unless they’re […]
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as the NBCA advocates, Eating Fabulous would also like to encourage all women to take charge of your own breast health by eating the right food. Take the lifestyle (and food) choices that will lower your risk:
Decrease your daily fat intake - especially saturated or hydrogenated fats.
Increase […]
Based on a long-term (1987-2004) study of 90,000 Swedish women, eating at least one portion per week of fatty fish such as salmon, raw herring, sardines and mackerel significantly reduced the risk of renal cancer by 74 per cent compared with those who never ate fatty fish.
“This is the first time that a link […]
