QSAC HEALTH TIPS


FISH OIL
Special from Bottom Line/Health

Two of the fats in fish -- eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) -- reduce risk of atherosclerosis. Fish oil makes platelets less sticky, increasing blood flow.

Recommendation: Two to three servings of fish a week. Best choices: Mackerel, trout and salmon.

Large fish, such as tuna, often have higher levels of mercury than smaller species. To reduce mercury exposure, eat a variety of fish, not a single type.

Or take supplements. Most manufacturers screen out mercury and other heavy metals. The recommended dose is three grams of fish oil daily. Strict vegetarians may want to use flaxseed oil or hemp oil (one tablespoon or usually three capsules, twice a day).

During a potentially deadly situation, Ishuah James (Habilitation Specialist) and Ronica Dumas (Assistant Manager of the ICF) exercised great courage and determination to ensure the safety of four consumers. While driving from a mall, shopping for the ICF, the van mysteriously started smoking and burst into flames. Mr. James as the driver and Ms Dumas as the matron tried to do what any other person would have done - stop the van and evacuate. When Mr. James attempted to stop the van, he realized that there were no brakes. He immediately pulled over and they jumped out while the van was still moving. The only thing on their minds was to get the consumers out of the van before it exploded. Because of their heroics, none of the consumers were hurt and they escaped any injury. They are our Employees of the Month for thinking of the consumers first in such a frightening situation.
