Omega-3 Fats: These are most plentiful in fatty fish - salmon, trout, tuna.as well as in green leafy vegetables, flaxseed, flaxseed oil and tofu. Lack of dietary fat may also prevent absorption of phytochemicals contained in fruits and vegetables.

According to Kevin Vigilante, M.D., co-author of Low-Fat Lies: High-Fat Frauds and Healthiest Diet in World. "One of most unhealthy things you can do is pour a nonfat dressing on a salad.

"Carotenes (phytochemicals that are some of most potent anticancer antioxidants) bind to fat. If you don't eat any fat within a few hours of consuming carotenes, you won't absorb them. So health benefits of that salad are flushed down toilet," he says.

One of best ways to get "fat" with your salad is flax oil. Here are some of my favorites dressing recipes using flax oil: (NEVER cook with flax oil, it becomes toxic when cooked)

Cyndi's Famous Flax Dressing

1 Cup flax oil 4 T. honey 3/4 t. ginger 1/2 t. pepper 2 T. raw apple cider vinegar

Blend all ingredients and serve. Shake well just before using. You can increase or decrease amount of honey to taste.

This is a sweet dressing; probably why I like it so much!

You can also try these different variations; - Barbeque Dressing - Your favorite barbeque sauce and flax oil - Honey Mustard Dressing:Again, Flax oil, mustard and honey. Mix to taste.

It used to be that there was only one kind of fat - BAD! Now research is showing importance of essential fatty acids.

Not only will those "good fats" help you lose weight, they will help you achieve your health!

One of main reasons so many people are unhappy at work is because they are experiencing one or more of three types of conflict mentioned above.

Here are some suggestions to help you resolve these behavioral conflicts.

When you find yourself being mentally "pulled", ask yourself this: "How do I need to behave in order for project that I am CURRENTLY working on to be successful?" Do you need to "have it done yesterday" or is precision and attention to detail more important? Whichever is more important, let yourself be "pulled" in that direction. Acknowledging this internal dialogue and making a conscious decision how to behave will help reduce conflict. When interacting with someone who does things differently than you, first realize that this person probably does not intend to give you a hard time. Their behaviors stem from their preferred behavioral style. Just as you have your way of doing things, so do they. The goal is for both of you to discuss how you each prefer to approach your work and reach some type of compromise. When projects are assigned to you that do not match your behavioral design, you have several options. You can enlist help of people whose natural behavior matches demands of project. You can also speak with your manager/supervisor about type of tasks that energize you and request that in future, those tasks be assigned to you. The most drastic measure (and sometimes most appropriate) is to remove yourself from environment -- yes, quit! If you are a person who does not like spotlight and prefers to work behind scenes and your position constantly requires you to make presentations and public appearances, you will continuously be unhappy. The single most important factor related to job satisfaction is having a job that closely matches your behavioral design.
