Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Normal urinary bladder can hold about 450
ml of urine (about 15 oz.) People generally
urinate between 1.5 - 2 litres (50-67 oz.) daily.
Some people urinate more frequently than
others. Polyuria means the production and
excretion of excess amounts of urine. This could be due to
diabetes, excessively high intake of water, high blood calcium or
low potassium levels. If you are concerned, have it checked.
We hear often about people's blood pressure going up in the
doctor's office ("white coat hypertension"). If you are having your
blood pressure checked, avoid caffeine at least one hour before,
no smoking for 15-30 minutes prior and you shouldn't have taken
any cold medications that day. (These raise blood pressure.)
Nutritionists all agree that eating fish at least twice weekly is
good for our general health. There was a "study of studies" called
a meta-analysis, that looked at 220,000 people comparing those
that ate no fish per week and those who ate fish five times per
week. The fish eaters had a 40% lower risk of death from heart
disease.
It's the fish oils that provide the benefits. For example, a five
ounce (170 gram) serving of wild salmon contains 3.65 grams of
omega -three oils.
