Ayam brand canned curry tuna 160 grams bought for the first time on 9 December 2014 at S$2.45

I bought an Ayam brand canned curry tuna 160 grams m for the first time on 9 December 2014 at S$2.45 from NTUC Fairprice supermarket at AMK Hub. 

No preservative. No added MSG. The main objective is to eat the oily fish tuna. This is my only pragmatic way to eat tuna because it is difficult for me to buy raw tuna here. Also I like curry!

CoQ10: Coenzyme Q10

CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant made naturally in your body. However, its production decreases with aging. CoQ10 protects skin and other body cells from the damage caused by free radicals. It's also involved in energy production and basic functioning of cells. Low levels of this antioxidant are found in many age-related illnesses. When used topically, it is reported to improve the appearance of wrinkles and the signs of aging.

Rich sources of CoQ10 include fish (such as salmon and tuna), poultry, organ meats (such as liver), and whole grains.

What did you say? Natural ways to prevent hearing loss

Once you begin to suffer from hearing loss usually the only ‘treatment’ offered by doctors is hearing aids – a solution many patients reject as uncomfortable and ineffective. 

There are a a number of more natural approaches worth trying which can work to improve hearing loss and prevent further damage to the ear.

Good nutrition. 

----------------

Make sure your diet is low in saturated animal fat and refined carbohydrates. 

Ears are nourished by the body’s blood supply. 

Fatty foods can reduce blood supply to the ears in the same way they can reduce blood supply to other parts of the body. 

In your diet, boost  the levels of 

1. whole grains, 

2. seeds, 

3. nuts, 

4. fresh vegetables and fruits. 

In your diet, Include plenty of cold-water fish (i.e. salmon, trout, albacore tuna, herring, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies) rich in omega 3 fatty acids. 

Omega 3’s are heart protective and this can translate into better hearing.

Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Foods rich in protein, like turkey, tuna, or chicken, are rich in an amino acid called tyrosine. 

Tyrosine may help boost levels of the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine. This boost helps you feel alert and makes it easier to concentrate. 

Try to include a protein source in your diet several times a day, especially when you need to clear your mind and boost your energy.

Good sources of healthy proteins: 

beans and peas, lean beef, low-fat cheese, fish, milk, poultry, soy products, yogurt

Sources of creatine ( from University of Maryland Medical Center )

Sources of creatine

About half of the creatine in our bodies is made from other amino acids in the liver, kidney, and pancreas. The other half comes from foods we eat. Wild game is considered to be the richest source of creatine, but lean red meat and fish (particularly herring, salmon, and tuna) are also good sources.

Natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids (From WebMD)

Info source:

http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/supplement-guide-omega-3-fatty-acids

Can you get omega-3 fatty acids naturally from foods?

Good food sources of omega-3 fatty acids include:

· Coldwater fish, like mackerel, tuna, salmon, and sardines

· Cod liver

· Flaxseed and canola oils

· Soybeans and tofu

· Walnuts

The American Heart Association recommends that people eat fish at least twice a week to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

Eating fewer foods with omega-6 fatty acids -- like some meats, eggs, and oils -- can also improve the ratio of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, effectively raising the concentration or levels in the body. Many people in the U..S eat diets that have 10-25 times as many omega-6 as they do omega-3 fatty acids. This imbalance may play a role in the onset of many diseases. The more appropriate ratio appears to be approximately 3:1 or 4:1.
