Well, I don't eat fish so it doesn't bother ME any!

LOL.. Costa eats that Wild Soy!! War, if there is a nearby senior center, you might get Mut to go for chair exercises.. probably would be a PITA at first, but if she ended up liking it, who knows? And there possibly could be transportation options too. I know there are tapes/dvds of chair exercises but it is difficult to get into it on your own.

War, what about water exercises? Places like the Y might offer senior water aerobics or something. Of course, I guess this time of year it'd have to be an indoor pool!

Since DH catches our salmon in Lake Michigan, it qualifies as "wild" - and IMHO beats all heck outta' canned stuff! Of course, that is my very biased opinion from one who doesn't do "salmon cakes" or particularly care for much canned meat at all. I now have enough venison and salmon to last me until next August in my freezer!! Woohoo for eating healthy AND delicious!

They have salmon in Lake Michigan??? I had no idea. Truly. What ocean do they swim in from? Um, Lake Michigan is a huge freshwater lake. Huh!! I am just dumbfounded.

Lake trout, coho, steelhead and "king salmon" are all found in Lake Michigan. Those are the titles used by all fishermen here on the West side of the state. Evidently there are many types of salmon -- some freshwater and some salt water.

I never would have thought salmon would be in Lake Michigan, either. That's very interesting. I wish we had them in the lake where dh catches his trout.

Huh! I guess I will have to Goggle freshwater salmon. Since I have lived on the west coast for twelve years, I have learned a bit about salmon, that they are born in fresh water, swim out to salt water, return to the same fresh water stream where they were born to spawn and then die. We have a bunch of salmon streams in our town (when I am there), and I love to go in the fall and watch the salmon jump upstream.

We just ate some tonight - DH grilled it w/seasoned salt, lemon pepper, parsley, basil and a slice of lemon on top. DELICIOUS!

I picked up red snapper (I think red snapper!) from the store earlier today. I hope that'll be good for her. We've tried suggesting every exercise we could think of for her and she just keeps insisting she's too old. It's so weird, she worked full time up until about 10 years ago. She was very active going to visit friends, shopping, walks around the block. Then she was diagnosed with diabetes and had to have cataract surgery pretty much at the same time, she took a couple weeks off of work and never went back and that started the general decline of her health (both physical and mental) I think. Sometimes I get a bit ticked with her because there's really no reason for her not to be up and about and doing something. So, we try our best to feed her as healthy as possible and make changes the doctor suggests because she won't be exercising.

The best fish you can eat is wild alaskan salmon. It's on the top 20 best foods for you list.

War, you've just got to insist back that she's never too old! Heck, there are 90 year old women working out at my Curves. Granted, they work out pretty slowly, and I swear half the reason they are there is for the social excuse of it all, but they are there and working out! (More or less! )

Yeah, that is too bad. Without enough physical exercise, many things will start to deteriorate which contribute to an even faster decline. I hope something clicks for her in that regard.
