After a 37-year hiatus, orcas in the Puget Sound have revived the peculiar behavior of wearing dead salmon on their heads. This trend, first observed in 1987, is part of the orcas' cultural traditions, which include various playful and sometimes destructive behaviors. While the reason behind this 'salmon hat' trend remains unclear, it may be linked to abundant salmon supplies or simply a playful fad. Orcas are known for their complex social behaviors, which can include both harmless and aggressive interactions with other marine life.
As we age, our nutritional needs change, and incorporating high-quality fatty proteins like salmon can significantly benefit older adults by reducing inflammation and supporting brain health. Experts recommend consuming salmon at least twice a week for its omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for muscle maintenance, hormone balance, and cognitive function. Additionally, leafy greens and pomegranates are beneficial for their antioxidants and vitamins. Men and women have different nutritional needs, with men requiring more protein and zinc, and women needing more calcium, vitamin D, and phytoestrogens. Supplements can help fill nutritional gaps but should be used based on lab tests and a food-first approach.
