Dr. Mark Hyman Gives Advice on How to Minimize Mercury Exposure and Boost Your Detoxification Metabolism
Dr. Mark Hyman recommends that everyone get tested for levels of mercury in the blood and for omega 3 fatty acid deficiency. You can minimize your dietary intake of mercury from fish if you eat only small fish that fit into your frying pan, and it is wise to avoid eating tuna, shark, sea bass, swordfish and river fish. He recommends taking omega 3 supplements only from distillation-purified sources. For vegetarians, intake of nuts and seeds can provide you with your omega-3 needs, but since it is in a different form than animal omega-3, a DHA supplement of 100-200 mg/day is needed to metabolize the omega-3.
