In that case choose wild salmon such as sockeye salmon

You're not the only one striding! It can leave you wondering what's the point. I think the highest levels were found in tuna because it is higher up the food chain. I would still eat oily fish especially if you like it - though like Olias I tend to avoid farmed fish because the omega 3 quantity is low,  as they are mainly fed on a corn-based food. Flaxseed/linseed walnuts are an alternative source of omega 3

Yes that link makes perfect sense.

A better diet and more exercise would eliminate much of the type 2 diabetes which has become prolific in last 2 decades and is set to worsen still. This is one thing I am pretty sure i have a great chance of avoiding with my lifestyle.

I think plenty more can be done with type 2 diabetes. Some harder hitting facts about it and the difficulties it can pose to health, like the warnings given for smoking. It thoroughly depresses me seeing kids weight spiralling out of control with their fat parents apparently oblivious to the implications of this.

I know this may sound harsh but the message on this illness just hasn't been strong enough imo.

Anyway off to focus on some racing, thanks for your comments DrRob.

Be lucky!

i think men over 50 should be tested for prostate every 2 years
men never get checked enough until its too far gone

yes dr rob better being lucky than good hey !
just seen a cracker just what the dr ordered

I do not study form Dr but I do study data

messaged u dr and olias

Not so sure about the psa test bigmart

I do compile my own ratings for handicap flat races but they are not ability ratings. I am also interested in the application of machine learning methods to horse betting

Never heard of machine learning methods Olias

i find speed ratings work even better on soft or heavy ground ,
very few horses can sluice through it and preduce a good speed rating
in h/c races top weights tend too struggle , as its they get stuck in the mud
bit like you racing a m9 with a haversack u might beat him on goo ground but like horses struggle to give lead away on soft or heavy conditions , purests might argue that they are h/cap to dead heat with a weight turn around never as simple , h.capping does not work the same on heavy
u cd have 2 sel dead heating one has 8.4  and the other has 9.4
they race same c/d but softer ground , they both handle said conditions , but u can bet your bott dollar the if horse a had 8.10 and horse b had 9.10 both running of the same marks horse A WD COME OUT ON TOP 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 , WEIGHT AFFECTS A HORSE FAR MORE WHEN THE MUD IS FLYING FACT

Thanks. Have they been able to take into account corrupt jockey's and trainers yet? Do you write the programme yourself - or is it something you can subscribe to?

I am an ex University lecturer in Computer Science so my background allows me to explore automated analysis and bet execution.

Olias and DrRob

I have CHD and had a double bypass 8 weeks ago. I suffered an inferior MI eleven years ago (propped up with a stent).

Around six months ago I started to get minor angina attacks on exercise and following an angiogram it was felt that surgery would be safer than more stents.

Whilst awaiting the procedure I spoke to a patient who was around the same age as me and he asked if I had heard of the plant food diet by Dr Esselstyn (I had to look that up as I couldn't remember his name just the plant food bit). I haven't researched his work before but in the last 20 minutes it would appear that Dr E places the cause of CHD solely on diet.

He is suggesting that the correct diet can not only stop CHD but reverse it.

Olias, he doesn't exclude bread from his list of foods. My apologies if this subject has been covered in this thread.

A couple of other points I was "told" during my stay in hospital/ pre-visits (by the consultants not other patients!):-

Alcohol is not a cause of CHD (I almost left the room then leaping in the air). It does contribute significantly to the major causes though;
Diabetes is a major contributor to CHD;
As is smoking;
As is obesity;
With family history as seemingly the most "likely" reason if the other tests fail.

I would add that following my heart attack eleven years ago, my blood pressure and cholesterol (which were both high) have been well looked after by medication. However, medication does not stop or reverse CHD.

Both would involve an inflammatory response from the body. I think the key is to manage this response or oxidative stress - like any stress - if it becomes chronic - it can wear out the body's repair and protective mechanisms, right down to the genetic level.

So, yes everything in moderation so you don't overload the system too much, which is why highly refined carbs aren't great as they produce bigger spikes in insulin. Fine once in a while, but, too much for too long could cause problems. How much is too much would vary greatly between individuals depending upon their genetic makeup and lifestyle.

This is why intermittent fasting can be a good tactic to use on occasions, because it gives your body a break and allows the cells that produce insulin time to have a rest. And just like In weight-training  it is the rest time that allows the growth to occur

Thanks for the link Olias - what is your connection to functional medicine ? It's quite an American term.

Unfortunately, not much is taught on nutrition in medical school, nor on preventative medicine per se - some would say cynically, because there's no money in it.
