This is one more interaction worth knowing about. If taking Cipro or related antibiotics for short periods, take the thyroid dose 6 hours away from the Cipro. If taking it for more than 2 weeks, have your doctor check thyroid levels on the Cipro to be sure you are not going hypothyroid.

Fish Oil May Improve Heart Function

BY:
Published: September 28, 2012
Categories:

In a placebo-controlled study involving 21 healthy men and women, supplementation with fish oil (DHA plus EPA—the 2 main oils in fish oil) improved heart muscle efficiency. The subjects received 2 g/day DHA + 3 g/day EPA or placebo for a period of 6 weeks. The fish oil group had increased heart stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). The authors of the study concluded "DHA + EPA-induced increases in SV and CO imply that dietary supplementation with these fatty acids can increase oxygen delivery during exercise, which may have beneficial clinical implications for individuals with cardiovascular disease and reduced exercise tolerance."1

No, this isn't Starbucks' PR firm talking to you. It's the take-home message from a recent study conducted by researchers at the National Cancer Institute. They analyzed 13 years of health data from more than 400,000 people and found that people who drank 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of early death by 12-13% compared to folks who didn't drink coffee. Looking at specific health problems, the researchers found coffee drinking was linked to fewer deaths from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections.
