If I got paid every time someone said "Oh, a little won't hurt me," I'd be a very rich woman. Unfortunately the only thing anyone gets from that misguided idea is poor health. Arsenic, lead, and trans-fats immediately come to mind. And mercury.In Dr. Mark Hyman's brilliant new book The UltraMind Solution, he notes that almost all of us have some level of mercury poisoning. If you eat tuna and/or have amalgam ("silver") fillings in your mouth, that means you.In mentally reviewing my meals, I recall hundreds of tuna sandwiches and sushi rolls. Do you?
Actor Jeremy Piven certainly does. The star of the HBO show Entourage - with a twice-a-day sushi habit - started to suffer from fatigue, dizziness, neuro-muscular dysfunction, and problems lifting his arms and legs. His doctor found his body's mercury level "almost six times the upper limit of normal and allowable." Mercury is nothing to meddle with. Here's how you can protect yourself:
1. If you're still eating tuna... stop. There are plenty of delicious, low-contaminant seafood options like wild salmon and sardines that you can enjoy without risk.
2. If you have amalgam fillings, get them safely removed.
3. Have your mercury levels tested, and work with a healthcare practitioner who uses chelation therapy to rid your body of heavy metals.
[Ed. Note: Extending your life and living out your years in tip-top health is really a matter of making simple lifestyle choices - like choosing low-contaminant seafood instead of tuna.
