Super food of the Month:

Omega 3-Rich Fish -- for the Heart, Joints, and Memory

Omega 3s you get in fish lower heart disease risk, help arthritis, and may possibly help with memory loss. There is some evidence to show that it reduces depression as well.

Omega-3s are most prevalent in fatty, cold-water fish: Look for wild (not farmed) salmon, herring, sardines, and mackerel. Aim for two-to-three servings a week.

Quinoa

Quinoa is a seed that has a fluffy, creamy, slightly crunchy texture and a somewhat nutty flavor when cooked. Not only is quinoa is high in protein, but the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa's amino acid profile well balanced, making it a good choice for vegans concerned about adequate protein intake, and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a host of other health-building nutrients. It's a very good source of manganese as well as a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorous.
