Asserting that so far the disease has killed 180 humans and it's only a matter of time until human to human infection occur. Doc outlines several ways for people to prepare for a possible pandemic.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug and Dr. Wallach discuss a report published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The report came from data analyzed by Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian of Harvard Medical School. The study found a link between the consumption of broiled or baked fish and healthier heart rhythms. Those that eat fish once a week had slower heart rates compared to those who ate fish less than once a month. The study also noted that the intake of fish five times a week had even healthier heart rhythms. The intake of fried fish was not associated with healthier heart function.
