Natural Health suggests that readers "decontaminate their diet" and lists choosing wild salmon as one of best ways to do this. Natural Health advises, "throw back the bigger fish," suggesting that readers avoid large fish like swordfish and shark that are more likely to be contaminated with metals such as methyl-mercury. According to the magazine, salmon is a safer choice and they recommend that readers: "Opt for wild-caught rather than farm-raised fish..." Natural Health caters to readers interested in health, natural living and self-care. "SuperFoods HealthStyle: Proven Strategies for Lifelong Health," by Dr. Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews, Speaks Highly of Alaska Salmon Dr. Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews follow up the success of their bestseller SuperFoods Rx with a new book this year, SuperFoods HealthStyle: Proven Strategies for Lifelong Health. The authors devote seven pages to wild salmon, one of the original "SuperFoods." The chapter praises wild salmon, explaining that omega-3s found in salmon help prevent heart disease, promote blood flow and good mental health, lessen hostility and could help prevent Alzheimer's disease in consumers who eat the recommended two to four servings per week. The authors offer easy cooking tips to those who may be daunted by the idea of preparing seafood four times a week and also sway the fears of consumers who worry about mercury in fish, suggesting they choose wild over farmed fish: "In my opinion the best salmon is Pacific wild Alaska salmon, whether it's fresh, frozen or canned." Pratt and Matthews laud canned salmon for its high calcium content: "Canned wild Alaska Salmon is an excellent choice" and suggest Alaska Halibut as a "sidekick" to Alaska Salmon. Wild Alaska Salmon is named throughout the book in other chapters such as "How to Avoid Alzheimer's Disease." HealthStyle is geared towards those looking to improve their health and includes exercise and daily living tips as well as food and nutrition information.
