[Cooking with Dr. Weil] How To Thaw Frozen Fish Wild-caught Alaskan salmon is one of my favorite foods. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and mental and emotional problems. Wild salmon is available fresh, frozen and canned, and according to the National Fisheries Institute, freezing fish and other seafood will cause minimal loss of the health-protective omega-3 fatty acids they contain. To thaw frozen salmon (or any other type of frozen fish), place the original, sealed package under a stream of cold water or put it in a basin of cold, clean water. When the fish has just become pliable it is properly thawed and ready to cook. (It's okay if the fish still seems slightly frozen.) Another method is to put the fish in your refrigerator to thaw - timing depends on the thickness of fish, but check the progress every few hours. Do not thaw frozen fish by setting it out at room temperature, submerging it in hot water or defrosting it in a microwave oven.

[Food as Medicine] Thinning Hair? Look At Your Diet It is not unusual for women to experience hair loss as they age. Thinning hair (also known as female pattern baldness) can be due to the effects of hair-care treatments, dyes, and styling; the habit of twisting or pulling your hair; thyroid disease; and hormonal changes. Diet may play a role - make sure you are getting enough omega-3 fatty acids by eating wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, herring or mackerel two or three times a week, or sprinkle two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds per day on cereal or salads. You can also consider supplementing your diet with a high-quality fish oil. [Tip]Tip: A simple way to help treat a cold is to eat two cloves of raw garlic at the onset of symptoms. Chop or crush the cloves to release the allicin (a sulfur compound with strong antibiotic effects) and put them on a sandwich or mix them into applesauce. [Checklist] Want To Go Vegetarian? Dr. Weil has long advised people to eat less factory farmed animal protein as a way to avoid hormones and other toxins, and to reduce the environmental impact of a meat-centric diet. If you need some ideas to get your family or yourself started on a lifestyle that reduces or eliminates meat, try the following: [Checklist] 1. Use meat as a side dish, not as the entrée. [Checklist] 2. Prepare familiar meatless meals such as bean burritos and pasta salads. [Checklist] 3. Go meatless gradually. Start with meatless breakfasts and then incorporate meatless lunches as well. [Checklist] 4. Try meat substitutes. Wheat meat (seitan) and whole soy products such as tempeh, tofu or edamame can be as satisfying as meat, and are good sources of vegetable protein. [Checklist] 5. Try new types of cuisine. Many ethnic cuisines offer meat-free dishes; you may not miss the meat when you have new flavors to entice you!
