Featured great food of the week !
Sardines are rich in numerous nutrients that have been found to support cardiovascular health. They are one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have been found to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels; one serving (3.25 ounce can) of sardines actually contains over 50% of the daily value for these important nutrients. Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin B12, second only to calf's liver. Vitamin B12 promotes cardiovascular well-being since it is intricately tied to keeping levels of homocysteine in balance; homocysteine can damage artery walls, with elevated levels being a risk factor for atherosclerosis. A true super food that will not break the bank !

Couldn't agree more with your last sentence in the article with ever increasing prices sardines will not break the bank and they are super.
Couldn't believe the vitamin B12 content. Am I right in thinking that when you have been on metformin for a while it can lead to a decrease of this important vitamin? Even more reason to eat sardines plus of course other foods which contain a good supply of nutrients.

Long term Metformin users often suffer from B12 deficiency. As I have used Metformin since diagnosis this is something I have kept in mind. No worries on that score now. While checking the nutrient values on the Linwoods flax, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame seed and goji berry mix, it states 30 grams contain 230% of the RDA for B12, ye gods! I must have had three days worth in my lunch time bap. Us lowcarbers don’t need supplements, just eat the right grub !
