The Good Oil for Baby Boomers

November 12, 2008 | Cafe | Comments 0

After childhood years being admonished to eat their veges, the baby-boomer generation is now being told to eat more oily fish, reports the New Zealand Herald.

The fish contains long-chain omega-3, credited in an Australian report issued in NZ yesterday with cutting the risk of chronic ailments including cardiovascular disease.

The report says baby-boomers aged 43 to 62 could provide huge savings for the health system if they consumed the recommended intakes of omega-3.

That equates to about two or three 150g serves of oily fish a week, fish oil capsules or liquid, or other foods enriched with marine omega-3.
