Believe it or not, full-fat dairy has been linked to a reduced risk of obesity.  That may be due in part to the satisfying creamy fats that reduce the desire to snack later on.  But be sure you also eat some of the good fats like foods high in Omega-3 fatty assets like Salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna.  Olive oil may reduce dementia risk by flushing out the proteins that gum up communications channels between brain cells (AARP The Magazine, March/April 2022 Issue, page 38).

 

Eating Fatty Fish Like Salmon Good For Diabetics


Eating fatty fish such as salmon, trout or sardines twice a week was associated with a lower risk of diabetic retinopathy, according to a study of people with diabetes which was published in 2017 in JAMA.  This is probably because fatty fish have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which encourage the development of blood vessel growth, including in the eyes.  Omega-3’s have also been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.
