I felt that there was a lot of repetitive suggestions, and would have enjoyed the book more if it had been concise. The author writes well, and I learned a lot but the recipes and meals she suggests may be Omega-3 healthy, but not over-all healthy. Onion soup mix in a dip recipe? No way all those chemicals and salt can be healthy. I will use flax oil more often in my salad dressings, and have changed my supplements a bit to add more Omega-3's so I did find some benefit in reading this.

Omega 3 fats from seafood and fish are essential to the body and especially the brain. Our brain cells require Omega 3 fats like bones need calcium. If you eat a diet rich in seafood and Omega-3's, you will reduce the rate of aging and you will feel younger and healthier.

While I did find some very useful information, there's no saving this from being a fuzzily conceived and written book. It reads like a list. Definately worth perusing though. I'll be on the lookout for a better book on the subject.
