The problem some individuals have with healthy food is that they seem to view it as not tasting so good. This however is far from the truth and healthy meals can be just as delicious, if not more so, as those fatty takeouts.

Take omega 3 for example; there are loads of tasty recipes available that are rich in both vitamins and nutrients. In fact after tasting just a few you will probably wonder why you didn’t just opt for the healthy option the first time round!

These recipes will provide sufficient amounts of omega 3 without renouncing great tasting food.
Specialists have revealed that foods rich in omega 3 tend to accelerate the fat metabolism; which basically means that despite how good the meal tastes you won’t run the risk of gaining body weight. Omega 3 in fact helps the body to both burn fat and lose weight, making it one of the more desirable health food options.

Mutant gene, responsible for the heart disease among, ten of millions of people from the subcontinent has been isolated, according to a study.

The guilty gene, found in more than1.5 billion people only in South Asia, is definite to create heart trouble, usually in later life, the researchers said.

Scientists have already concluded that the India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and to some extend Bangladesh, have a giant share in the global burden of cardiovascular diseases. According to the previous study, India alone will account for sixty percent of global heart issues, due to genetics and lifestyle, at the end of this year.

“The gene mutation induces the synthesis of an abnormal protein,” said the lead researcher. These include elevated high blood pressure and weakening of the heart muscles called cardiomyopathy, and finally death due to sudden heart attack.

In two side by side clinical trials, researchers perform the tests to check the mutation in 800 cardiac patients and 699 healthy persons across India.

The relation between the genetic defect and heart disease “were almost off the scale,” and confirming that the gene mutation played a key part in causing heart problems.

These findings raise a shocking question: if the mutation in the specific gene is so dangerous, what is the cause of its widespread?
