Joyce Nicholson, our Health Motivator taught our lesson, “Feel Free to Spree with Omega-3.” Omega-3 oils are fatty acids that our bodies can’t make but are essential to our diets. Scientific studies have shown a correlation between eating omega-3s and preventing dementia, combating depression, supporting bone health, fighting inflammation, reducing rheumatoid arthritis and improving heart function. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish per week. Albacore tuna packed in water, salmon and canned sardines are loaded with omega-3s. Flax seed oil, chia seeds and walnuts, eggs, milk, yogurt and juice are good sources of omega-3s. Chuckle of the Month: A woman at the pharmacy was overheard saying, “Be careful picking up that box of omega-3 pills. You might get a super-fish oil injury.” Joyce always does a spectacular job, giving us lots of valuable information.
Since our Lesson Leader was absent, there was no lesson.
