An inability or unwillingness to cook is a serious barrier to your health and fitness.

Now, read that again and seriously think about it: An inability or unwillingness to cook is a serious barrier to your health and fitness. Those are the words of Orie Shafer, Ph.D., a research biologist and member of CrossFit Des Peres. And he's right.

If you don't cook, who's making your meals? Somebody else: which means somebody else is controlling your health and fitness. Wouldn't you rather it were you? It's time to stop thinking of cooking as a chore and start thinking of it as taking control of your life. What you do in the kitchen matters just as much as what you do in the gym.

Take a look at Orie's blog for more thoughts on healthy foods and recipes.

Fish oil has heart-rhythm stabilizing effects: study
Last Updated: 2008-04-22 14:00:51 -0400 (Reuters Health)
By Megan Rauscher
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a prospective clinical study, the consumption of fish oil supplements had the effect of reducing the electrical irritability of the heart in people with heart rhythmdisturbances.
"This stabilizing effect may be one way in which fish oil reduces mortality in patients with coronary artery disease," Dr. Glenn D. Young from Royal Adelaide Hospital, Australia, told Reuters Health.
"This study supports the more wide spread use of fish oil and/or fish consumption in coronary artery disease patients," Young said.
Several studies have reported a decrease in risk of sudden cardiac death or cardiac arrest with increased consumption of fish or fish oils, fueling the idea that fish oil may have heart-rhythm stabilizing, or "anti-arrhythmic" properties.
The study by Young and colleagues supports this line of thinking.
They studied 26 patients suffering from a rapid abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia who were having a cardiac defibrillator implanted. Twelve patients consumed 3 grams of fish oil daily for six weeks and 14 did not.
At an initial electrophysiologic study, the researchers were able to induce ventricular tachycardia through programmed extra stimuli in all 26 patients.
At a repeat electrophysiologic study, 42 percent of the fish oil group had no inducible ventricular tachycardia compared with just 7 percent of the control group.
Additionally, 42 percent of the fish oil group required more aggressive stimulation to induce ventricular tachycardia, compared with 36 percent of the control group.
This research, conclude Young and colleagues, "strongly" supports the premise that fish and fish oils have heart-rhythm stabilizing effects, but their role in the management of patients with heart rhythm abnormalities "remains to be established."
SOURCE: American Journal of Cardiology, March 15, 2008.
Dr. Sears comments:
Sudden cardiac death accounts for about 50 percent of all cardiovascular death, and it is strongly related to arrhythmias. High-dose fish oil (about 5 grams of EPA and DHA per day) is a very cost-effective way to reduce that risk.

Salmon and spinach with balsamic sauce

4 Blocks

Ingredients:
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
5 cups spinach
salt to taste
6oz. salmon fillet
2 tsp olive oil
ground pepper to taste

Instructions:
1) Pour the balsamic vinegar and honey into a small saucepan then bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the volume is reduced by half and a syrupy consistency is obtained, 5-7 min. Set aside. 2) Prepare the spinach. Wash and drain rapidly then transfer to a saucepan without adding any water. The water trapped in the leaves after gentle shaking is enough to cook them. Add salt, cover and cook over high heat 3-4 min until the leaves wilt. Avoid overcooking otherwise the spinach will become brownish. Transfer the spinach to a colander, press to remove excess water, then set aside. 3) Lightly oil salmon on both sides. Heat a grooved, thick-bottom frying pan or a nonstick pan. When hot, add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the edges become opaque and lighter coloured, about 5 min. Turn and cook an additional 3 min. Peel off the skin then season with salt and pepper. Check with a fork to see if it is cooked through. 4) Transfer the spinach to the warmed serving plates, place the fish on top, then drizzle with the balsamic syrup. Serve. 5) Have a piece of fruit or 1 cup mixed berries for dessert.
