Omega-3s & Diabetes
The American Diabetes Association recommends eating 2-3 servings of non-fried fish per week for dietary omega-3 fatty acids. Seafood contains omega-3
fatty acids that are considered a good type of fat because of the benefits they
provide. Omega-3 benefits include:
- reduction of blood triglyceride levels,
- prevention of blood clotting (which can cause blood vessels to narrow and ultimately become blocked),
- possible reduction of blood pressure, and
- food sources are low in saturated fat.
Strive to eat seafood 2-3 times per week!

E-mail to Christine - Dining Out
Q:  We eat out a lot. Could you give us some suggestions for Japanese and Chinese?

You might look at a few dinners listed on your menu to get an idea of portions prior to dining out. Here are a few suggestions when ordering. Ask how items are prepared prior to ordering...
