Sometimes simple solutions rule. Is not it great when that happens? Well, recent studies indicate that a simple solution can help prevent juvenile diabetes for millions of children around the world – and simple salmon is the solution!

The investigation of a national study at the Norwegian Institute of Health revealed that when parents give their children cod liver oil (do not worry, I’ll take the salmon) during their first year of life years, low-risk juvenile diabetes more than 25%. This is significant. And the discovery was so important that was published in highly respected peer-reviewed American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Scientists believe that the reason for these results is the reduction of inflammation of the ability of omega-3 fatty acids in certain fish high EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The names are a mouthful, but not miracles. And the salmon is the largest source of EPA and DHA. (See, I told you to get the salmon!)

There are two types of diabetes – type 1 and type 2. In both diseases, the body can not produce insulin or use the form and store glucose. This causes blood sugar problems. Type 2 diabetes is traditionally adult onset. But because of poor health lifestyles, children are increasingly developing type 2 diabetes.
