Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 is a primary ingredient of the retina and helps maintain good eyesight.

Lycopene
A diet that is rich in lycopene lowers the risk of age-related eye degeneration.

Body Part Description:

Vital
Calcium is a mineral that is vital for strong bones and teeth. From birth to age 18 bones are forming and growing and calcium is essential for that.

Low levels
If the calcium level in your blood falls below its normal range, the body will begin to draw on the supply in your bones.

Fish bones
The bones in Lucky Star are so soft that even a toddler can eat them - so either eat the fish as it is, bones and all, or mash the bones in with their sauce. Do not throw the bones away - they are a valuable source of calcium.

Body Part Description:

Glucose
Under normal circumstances, glucose is transported with the help of the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas.

Insulin
If the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use insulin  properly, glucose may build up to unhealthy levels in the bloodstream. When the blood glucose rises above a certain level, diabetes is diagnosed.

Diabetes SA
Lucky Star is endorsed by Diabetes South Africa, which means that it complies with health specifications and is nutritious for healthy and diabetic persons.

Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce tissue inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Selenium
This mineral shows promise in treating arthritis and research on this is continuing.

Canned fish contains more calcium than fresh fish due to the small edible bones that have been softened by the canning process. the bones are so soft that even a toddler can eat them - so either eat the fish as it is, bones and all, or mash the bones in with their sauce. Do not throw the bones away - they are a valuable source of calcium.

Growth
We need protein for growth, body building and for repairing worn out or damaged tissues, especially bone cartilage and muscle.

Animal protein
Animal proteins are better than plant proteins, and the best sources are cheese, eggs, fish, meat and milk – these are complete proteins.

Fish
Fish is better than meat as the prime protein in fish is much more easily digested than that in meat and it is cheaper.

Body Part Description:

Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids have cancer fighting properties, especially colon and prostate cancer.

Lycopene
Researchers have found a strong relationship between your lycopene intake and a reduced risk of cancer of the prostate gland and the pancreas. Should you consume lycopene products at least twice a week, you will reduce your possibility of prostate cancer by 34%, shows a study conducted by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Selenium
Studies show the potential benefits of selenium in prevention of prostate cancer. Men with high blood levels of selenium may be about half as likely to develop advanced prostate cancer as those with lower blood selenium.

Body Part Description:

Protein
Proteins are the vital building blocks of the body. They form the main structures of our body. We need them for growth, body building and for repairing worn out or damaged tissues, especially bone cartilage and muscle. They also give us a certain amount of energy.

Body Part Description:

Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 releases collagen and elastin which make skin elastic and smooth.

Selenium
Further research is needed on the cell membrane protecting influence on improving tissue elasticity, but it does appear to be helpful (with Vitamin E) in treating acne and other skin conditions.

Body Part Description:

Cholesterol
The polyunsaturated fats in Lucky Star Pilchards include high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to control cholesterol levels and reduce the incidence of heart disease.

Blood clotting
Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in the regulation of blood clotting and vessel constriction.

Arrhythmia
It may play a beneficial role in arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).

Selenium
Selenium has been found to be important in its contribution to the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol
Lycopene limits the bad cholesterol that leads to a hardening of the arteries and artery disease.

Heart attacks
If you have a high level of lycopene you are half as likely to suffer heart attacks as those with low levels.

Body Part Description:

Mood
Omega-3 has been shown to help promote a positive mood and emotional balance.

Memory loss
It lowers the likelihood of “silent” brain lesions that can cause memory loss and dementia.

Depression
It may play a beneficial role in reducing depression and mental decline in older people.

Stress
Omega 3 can reduce stress by controlling the stress creating hormones.

Iodine
The major reason for mental retardation, says the World Health Organisation, is a shortage of iodine in the system and Africa is one of the worst off continents for this.

Body Part Description:

Development 
From birth to the early 20s, Omega-3 is one of the most important factors in the development of the brain and nervous system.

Function
It is essential for brain function, including concentration and learning abilities, memory retention and moods.

Blood cleanser
It acts as a blood cleanser, making the blood more fluid and allowing more oxygen to the brain.

We require iodine for proper physical and mental development.

Foetus

Iodine affects respiration, the make-up of energy and nutrients, as well as the functioning of the nerves and muscles and differentiation of the foetus.

Calcium

• Mother and child
• Fish bones

Mother and child

The pregnant mother needs calcium for herself and her unborn child. The developing baby uses calcium from the mother's body and therefore puts increased demands on the mother's supply. It is essential that she should consume more calcium for her own and her baby's health.

Fish bones

Canned fish contains more calcium than fresh fish due to the small edible bones that
have been softened by the canning process. the bones are so soft that even a toddler can eat them - so either eat the fish as it is, bones and all, or mash the bones in with their sauce. Do not throw the bones away - they are a valuable source of calcium.
