Heart healthy foods

There have been a lot of news lately about gut health. That affects everything else. A serving of yogurt a day can help with that.

I like the Iceland Skyr products. A bit thicker than regular or Greek yogurt. My latest trick is to add one serving of skyr to a one ounce scoop of muesli. That gives me both fiber and the bacteria in the yogurt.

I’ll look for that product. Thank You PimTac

The stores near me have two brands, Icelandic Provisions and Siggis. I buy whichever one is cheaper

My family is eating 1 wild Alaska salmon per week through next spring. We caught 26 salmon with our free subsistence permit (with a standard ADFG fishing license) a few weeks back -- about $750 dollars in fish. This for a day trip to the mouth of the Kasilof River where in dumps into Cook Inlet on the Kenai Peninsula... and 350 miles RT in gas.

These fresh, wild caught, not fishy (we immediately bleed on the beach) salmon will keep us healthy.

BTW, the old 5.3L Silverado did well through the mountains with Chevron Supreme 5W-30 in the sump. 202K miles on the 2006 Alaskan Silverado as of this summer.

Reduce excess salt and heavier oil / grease. Reduce meat intake with excess fat content (chicken breast and lean fish instead of bacon), olive oil instead of say, lard and tallow?

A lot of the older people I know gradually went part time vegetarian and they stay fit with mild exercise that way. My grandma lived to 92 and my wife's grand uncle lived to 106, both exercise (gardening, walk in the park) daily and eat lightly season and low fat food, small portion of meat. Maybe that's the genetics but they said once they go mild and healthy it is hard to eat greasy and salty food anymore.

Avoid excess sugar, pick your fats carefully. I don't allow any hydrogenated margarines in my house. We use butter in moderation. Minimize fried foods.
If you can get it through your car window, don't eat it. The exceptions are salads and chick fila grilled chicken.

McD base "hamburger" for $1 does not have much fat at all. If you order with no ketchup it is actually "healthier" than most home cook food. Don't drink soda and fries though. I lived off McD dollar menu sandwiches like these (skip mayo and ketchup, add my own lettuce from supermarket) for years and I'm very healthy. The owner was sort of not happy losing money on me though.
