Fish Nutrition: Fish is a low-fat, optimal quality protein, which is rich in health enhancing nutrients.

Highlights

Fish is touted as the healthiest of animal proteins for humans. Whether you are controlling your blood pressure, cholesterol or managing diabetes, fish can be your go-to protein from the animal kingdom and rightly so. Fish is a low-fat, optimal quality protein, which is rich in health enhancing nutrients. Eating fish at least twice a week is recommended by all leading health bodies for protection against heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, blood pressure and even for brain health. Fish has been a part of traditional Indian diets of the coastal regions for centuries. It is easy to source and cook and can be fried, boiled, baked or roasted. It packs great flavour along with health benefits.

Fish is a good source of protein with all nine amino acids present in it. Protein is required for almost every function of our body and is present in every cell. Having adequate protein ensures a healthy body, blood and immune system. Indian diets are particularly deficient in proteins except in areas where fish is easily available.

Unlike the other meats, fish is not high in saturated fats, and hence important for protecting us against non-communicable diseases. Since it is one of the richest sources of omega -3 fats, it helps offset the cholesterol risk. Omega -3 is one of the healthiest fats that protect us against heart diseases and stroke. It is also an essential fatty acid, which means that it is not manufactured in our body and we must get via our diet. It is associated with keeping the cholesterol levels down by lowering triglycerides and may also increase the good cholesterol or HDL. Omega -3 consists of Alpha-Linoleic Acid- ALA, Docosahexaenoic Acid- DHA, and Eicosapentaenoic Acid- EPA. Of these, DHA and EPA are the most important and that is why fish becomes an important part of a healthy diet. Omega-3 is also linked to improving immune function and decreasing inflammation in the body. People with arthritis and active lifestyles have found that consuming omega-3-rich foods help them manage pain and muscle fatigue better. Research has shown some benefits for depression, ADHD, Alzheimer's, dementia and diabetes as well. Salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, herring, and tuna are few of the recommended options.

Vitamin D is found in fish and has been associated with good bone health. It also protects against Type-1 diabetes, and cancers of the breast, colon, prostrate and oesophagus, according to new scientific evidence. Another vitamin present in good quantity in fish is Vitamin B2 Riboflavin, which is essential for overall good health. It not only promotes growth, but also helps the body breakdown carbohydrates to release energy and optimises the use of oxygen in the body.

Healthy Diet: Include Dates In Your Morning Meal To Start The Day On A Healthy Note - NDTV Food

For nearly 30 years, this little-known nonprofit has been cooking and delivering medically tailored meals to sick, homebound people throughout Eastern Massachusetts, currently serving about 1,000 clients a day. And now spreading its wings after a $24 million expansion, with its founding concept of food is medicine gaining traction nationwide Community Servings is poised to start serving the entire state next month.

On a recent afternoon, the scent of cinnamon filled the room as Nick Bruning, a packaging manager who also has a special interest in dessert, slathered a thin piece of amber cake with cream cheese filling and curled it into Swiss pumpkin roll.

In another room redolent of roasted meat, a worker sliced a golden-skinned turkey breast; another slid a knife through a chunk of roasted ribeye. Elsewhere, a tray of pumpkin truffles coated in dark chocolate awaited packaging, and workers peeled the deep purple skin of eggplants about to be chopped and roasted.

Mission No. 1 is to make people want to eat the food were making, said executive chef Brian Hillmer, who has previously worked at such restaurants as Legal Sea Foods, Not Your Average Joes, and Tavern in the Square.

In addition to the turkey and ribeye, the Thanksgiving menu options include cranberry-apple braised chicken, roasted sirloin, spaghetti squash gratin, spiced citrus baked fish, and roasted vegetable risotto.

The clients live with conditions in which diet plays a role including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, HIV, and kidney disease and are unable to shop or cook for themselves. Most have multiple diagnoses. The average age is 53.

Community Servings provides each with two meals plus snacks for five days a week. The meals are free to patients, the vast majority of whom live below the poverty line.

The meal becomes almost like a prescription, said chief executive David B. Waters. If I said to you, Go to the store and make a meal that controls for glucose, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and vitamin K, no matter who you are, youd probably find that impossible. For people without access to quality food or too sick to get off the couch, Waters said, the system sets you up to fail. Thats when you become that high-cost patient.

But food cant promote health if it goes in the trash instead of the stomach, and many sick people have no appetite.

Thats why the menu starts with the chef. Hillmer dreams up something delicious and then shows his plans to Valerie Machinist, director of nutrition services, who employs a computerized recipe analysis program to break down the nutrient content.

A back-and-forth ensues between the guardians of nutrition and taste. Swapping an ingredient here, reducing a portion there, they collaborate to devise meals that are appealing, nutritious, and medically appropriate.

For example, everyone who eats meat received Thanksgiving turkey, but only breast meat with a small piece of skin. The Swiss pumpkin roll was lightened with whipped egg whites and low-fat cream cheese in the frosting.

The menus address 15 medical diets. Kidney-disease patients have the most restrictions, needing to avoid whole grains, potatoes, beans, and legumes. Heart-disease patients get dishes with little sodium and saturated fat. People with diabetes must limit carbohydrates.

Menus take into account a weeks worth of meals, rather than individual dishes. To compensate for cake, there may be fewer carbohydrates in the other components, for example.

By nutritional necessity, the food doesnt contain as much salt as the American palate has come to expect. Hillmer said the dearth of salt is one complaint he cant address.

A few days before Thanksgiving, an assembly line of workers was packing the food, weighing each component before spooning it into the container, which they then sealed in plastic, labeled, and froze. (The agency can serve only people with refrigerators to store the food and microwaves or stoves to heat it.)

Community Servings has 60 employees, their efforts boosted by about 75 volunteers a day. Additionally, much of the food preparation is done by participants in a 12-week food service training program for people emerging from incarceration, addiction, homelessness, or other challenges.

The agency has its roots the AIDS epidemic and was founded in 1990 by the American Jewish Congress. At the time, with no treatment available, AIDS patients were dying of a wasting syndrome.

We became the only medicine, Waters said. We were trying to keep people we loved alive in hopes of a cure, in those early, scary years. A dozen similar groups sprang up across the country in the cities most affected by AIDS, but Community Servings is the only one of its kind in New England.

Though no cure ever came along, medications now enable most HIV and AIDS patients to live full lives, and in 2004 Community Servings expanded its mission to other sick people. Still, HIV patients make up a third of its clients.

In the ensuing years, Community Servings has sought to demonstrate that its charitable work also makes business sense, by partnering with food researcher Seth A. Berkowitz. He has published studies in major journals showing that Community Servings clients spend fewer health care dollars, use hospital emergency departments less frequently, and experience dramatically fewer hospital admissions.

Those findings caught the attention of health insurers and cleared the way for Community Servings to win contracts with managed care organizations. Such arrangements have boosted its resources beyond the federal grants and charitable donations on which it has relied.

In December the agency will expand beyond the 21 communities it now serves to reach the entire state, shipping its frozen meals by UPS to the farthest reaches of the Berkshires.

At our core, said chef Hillmer, we just want to feed our neighbors and make sure theyre healthy.

Study evaluated the relation of healthy diet with the risk of cognitive impairment.

Cognitive decline can lead to a number of serious mental illnesses, especially in old age. Cognitive decline is often followed by gradual cognitive impairment and dementia, which may increase the risk of severe dementia and also Alzheimer's disease. In fact, with the modern, advanced science playing its role in increasing the average life expectancy, the risk of occurrence of age-related cognitive diseases is also rising. Therefore, it becomes all the more important to curtail the progression of cognitive decline with aging. And, healthy plant-based diets have proved to be of significant value in delaying or curbing brain-related issues.

In a recent study, researchers from the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH), NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) found that following a healthy diet including high intake of plant-based foods and low intake of animal foods in midlife couldresult in a reduced risk of cognitive impairment in old age.

The team evaluated the relation of healthy diet with the risk of cognitive impairment in the Singapore Chinese Health Study, a population-based ongoing prospective cohort study designed to evaluate genetic, dietary, and environmental determinants of chronic diseases in Chinese adults living in Singapore.

Cognitive decline is often followed by gradual cognitive impairment and dementia.

Woon-Puay Koh, lead investigator of the study said, "We examined the associations between various healthful dietary patterns and risk of cognitive impairment in Chinese adults. We used data from the Singapore Chinese Health Study of 16,948 men and women who were aged 4574 y at baseline (19931998) and reinterviewed at the third follow-up visit (20142016), 20 years later. Diet quality at baseline was assessed according to the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED), the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, the alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010, overall plant-based diet index (PDI), and healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI)."

The results that were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, divulged that participants who adhered to these dietary patterns had a significant reduction (18 to 133 per cent) in risk of cognitive impairment as compared to other participants not following the diets.

These findings suggest that maintaining a healthy dietary pattern is important for the prevention of onset and delay of cognitive impairment, concluded Woon-Puay Koh.

Raleigh, N.C. Research shows that consuming too many sweetened and artificially sweetened drinks can lead to serious health issues over time, doing more harm than just adding weight.

For many people, soft drinks are a daily habit. But a recent study in JAMA unveiled concerning data on almost 500,000 people averaging 50 years of age.

Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Mark Hyman commented on the study.

"There was an increased risk of death from all causes -- and from heart disease -- in people who consumed sugar-sweetened beverages and sodas and, not surprisingly, artificial sweeteners," Hyman said.

Results showed that people who drink two or more soft drinks per day -- both containing sugar or artificially sweetened -- were at increased risk of death from circulatory or digestive disease.

Other studies show that artificial sweeteners are linked to obesity, diabetes and other health risks.

According to Hyman, it's important to understand that diet soda doesn't give you a free pass to drink as much as you want.

"The diet drinks have artificial sweeteners in them that actually affect your brain chemistry," Hyman said. "They make you hungry, they slow your metabolism and affect your gut microbiome in ways that are not good."

Health experts say enjoying soda in moderation and drinking more water are the healthiest alternatives.

If you crave the carbonation or flavor, Hyman suggests looking for sparkling water or adding small amounts of fresh fruit to a glass of water.

When people want to lose weight they usually turn to a new diet and exercise regimen to help them shed a few pounds. These diets are relatively affordable and anyone could try it, but there are some that only celebrities have the money to afford.It is said that the average American spends about$2,641 per year on food, and these diets have that number skyrocketing by thousands of dollars.

We have compiled a list of diets that are going to be way out of your price range. The horrible thing is that most customers tend to put the weight back on within a year of completing the diet program. Keep reading to learn about the ten most expensive diets only celebrities can afford!

Some popular celebrities like Mariah Carey and Queen Latifah have used this diet to shed some pounds, but it isn't cheap. When you sign up for the program, you can choose between 12-weeks, 12-months, or two-years and then you are assigned a personal consultant.

Dieters eat six times per day, plus a healthy snack they make themselves, and all of the meals are provided by the company. The costs come in when you consider the sign-up fee of $100, the $20 a month membership fee, and the cost of food which is around $150 per week. You could spend that money instead of paying off bills, buying an ATV, and so much more.

This diet has shown to help patients who suffer from heart disease, and it is technically a form of veganism. You want to avoid fats at all costs so things like meat, oil, sugar, beans, nuts, and avocados should not be eaten.

Dr. Dean Ornish, the man who created this diet plan, has his own program calledDr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Diseasethat costs$7,344 to enroll. It only lasts for 72 hours, and, after that time it is up, to you to keep up with this expensive diet.

The first step is to buy the book that lays out the rules of this diet plan, and then you can craft your meals based on its suggestions. It takes you through four different phases depending upon your weight loss as it rewards you for making progress.

People spend an average of $100 a week on their meals, but this number drastically increases if you buy more prepackaged items and make the more expensive meals in their book. It might be something moderately affordable at first, but celebrities usually take it to the next level.

Weight Watchers focuses on providing customers with a support system that they can use while crafting their diets. There have been several celebrities to use this diet plan like Tina Fey, Jenny McCarthy, and Oprah, and they paid quite a bit to use it. The plan itself costs around $50 per month with apersonal coach who you can call at any time.

They do have a food line, but everything in it is quite expensive when compared to other generic brands, and this is where the price drastically jumps. Many people spend an average of $700 per month on their food, and this price could change depending upon what you buy.

Organic foods are those that are made without pesticides and have a higher concentration of antioxidants. The goal of this diet is to only eat these types of foods and cut out extra dairy and gluten products along the way.

It can grow quite expensive pretty quickly as people spend upwards of $300 a week on meals for themselves. This is a new diet fad in the industry that people have hopped on board with, as natural is always better, but it is not so great on your wallet.

This diet was created by a man named Dr. Sears and the goal is to combine a healthy diet, Omega-3 fish oil, and polyphenols found in plants together to help you lose weight. The diet itself portions your plate out in terms of protein, fat, and carbs.

The weekly cost of buying this food is around $100, and that doesn't include the Omega-3 fish oil pills you should be taking. Overall, the costs can add up pretty quickly, especially if you have a more expensive palate of tastes.

The goal of this diet is to stabilize your insulin levels and balance your metabolism, but it comes at a steep price. There are four phases in the program customized to your specific needs that focus on fresh produce, lean meats, and nuts. The program itself starts at $899, but there are more expensive plans you can pursue.

It does depend on where you live and your specific needs, but already it sounds expensive. This plan doesn't include food either, so you can plan to spend at least $100 per week onmeals to feed yourself.

RELATED: 10 Celebrities Who Spend Thousands Spoiling Their Pets

Veganism is a huge diet fad that celebrities like Ellen Pompeo, Zac Efron, and Natalie Portman are all self-proclaimed vegans. A vegan is someone who does not eat or use animal products, which means only naturally occurring foods are available, while eggs and dairy are off-limits.

It can be affordable when you buy the ingredients and make meals yourself, but it changes when you start purchasing premade meals. Some can spend less than $25 a week on food, while others say that they prefer the more expensive items that drive up the price.

Celebrities like Janet Jackson, Melissa Joan Hart, and Dan Marino have used this diet to lose some weight. They provide you withbreakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacksto eat each week from an extensive menu based on the meal plan you choose.

There are over 160 meals to choose from, but they do come at a cost. If you choose auto-delivery than your price is reduced to around $340 per month, but otherwise you are looking at prices of $560 or more.

The Clintons and Nicole Kidman are big fans of this Miami-based diet plan. The top-rated platinum plan costs about $13 per day, and it provides you with all of your meals, snacks, and shakes to help you stay in shape and lose weight.

There are two phases to the plan that help you slowly merge into following this specific diet. It might be a bit more expensive than your average meal, but that is why it is something only celebrities like to follow.

If you own shares in Heartland Group Holdings Limited (NZSE:HGH) then its worth thinking about how it contributes to the volatility of your portfolio, overall. In finance, Beta is a measure of volatility. Volatility is considered to be a measure of risk in modern finance theory. Investors may think of volatility as falling into two main categories. First, we have company specific volatility, which is the price gyrations of an individual stock. Holding at least 8 stocks can reduce this kind of risk across a portfolio. The second type is the broader market volatility, which you cannot diversify away, since it arises from macroeconomic factors which directly affects all the stocks on the market.

Some stocks are more sensitive to general market forces than others. Some investors use beta as a measure of how much a certain stock is impacted by market risk (volatility). While we should keep in mind that Warren Buffett has cautioned that Volatility is far from synonymous with risk, beta is still a useful factor to consider. To make good use of it you must first know that the beta of the overall market is one. Any stock with a beta of greater than one is considered more volatile than the market, while those with a beta below one are either less volatile or poorly correlated with the market.

See our latest analysis for Heartland Group Holdings

Given that it has a beta of 0.84, we can surmise that the Heartland Group Holdings share price has not been strongly impacted by broader market volatility (over the last 5 years). This suggests that including it in your portfolio will reduce volatility arising from broader market movements, assuming your portfolios weighted average beta is higher than 0.84. Many would argue that beta is useful in position sizing, but fundamental metrics such as revenue and earnings are more important overall. You can see Heartland Group Holdingss revenue and earnings in the image below.

Heartland Group Holdings is a small cap stock with a market capitalisation of NZ$987m. Most companies this size are actively traded. Small companies can have a low beta value when company specific factors outweigh the influence of overall market volatility. That might be happening here.

Since Heartland Group Holdings is not heavily influenced by market moves, its share price is probably far more dependend on company specific developments. It could pay to take a closer look at metrics such as revenue growth, earnings growth, and debt. This article aims to educate investors about beta values, but its well worth looking at important company-specific fundamentals such as Heartland Group Holdingss financial health and performance track record. I urge you to continue your research by taking a look at the following:
