MY PAPER, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2011, PAGE A14, VIEWPOINTS
Recently I read a chapter in a book that dealt with the three images people have.
The author, John Bevere, elaborated on the images - the projected image, the perceived image and the actual image.

By definition, the projected image is how we portray ourselves based on the way we desire to be seen. The perceived image is how others see us, and the actual image is who we really are.
For many of us, the perceived image is of utmost importance. It seems that our reputation is more important than our true selves. This leads to us projecting ourselves the way we want to be seen.

This behaviour could be attributed partially to our growing affluence, or it could be due to our cultural take on the issue of "saving face".
Much of our efforts tend to be focused on appearances, status, titles, accomplishments, accolades and possessions - so much so that we may put on a false front.

Hence, the ideal situation is to ensure that our projected image matches our perceived image. Of course, this is much easier said than done.
For a start, the image we project is from our perspective. Some people call this the "I" point of view.
How others view us comes from a "we" perspective - a collective array of perceptions. This variety of perceptions stems, from the fact that the people we are in contact with come from all walks of life, engage with us in different circumstances and with whom we have different levels of relationships.

What struck me when I was reading Bevere's book was that many people (myself included) have placed so much emphasis on our projected and perceived images that we forget to look at who we are.
Author Donna Davis once wrote: "Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself."

Wouldn't it be nice if we could be who we really are and align our actual image with our projected one? After all, both images are within our control.
However, I have friends who say that doing so makes them "transparent" and, in some cases, vulnerable.
Some of them blame it on the stereotypes tbat exist in society - for example, if you are a managing director, you must project a certain image.

I understand how difficult it can be to be true to ourselves and project our actual image at all times. But is it impossible?
I'd like to think that, despite the scrutiny which we are constantly subjected to, there are valid reasons for us to project our actual image and accept the consequences that come with it.

PEOPLE who eat fish a few times each week are slightly less likely to suffer a stroke than those who eat only a little or none at all.
That is the conclusion of an analysis of 15 studies, each of which asked people how frequently they ate fish, then followed them for between four and 30 years to see who suffered a stroke.
"I think, overall, fish does provide a beneficial package of nutrients, in particular the omega-3s; that could explain this lower risk," said Dr Dariush Mozaffarian, a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist whose research was included in the analysis.

"A lot of the evidence suggests that about two to three servings per week is enough to get the benefit."
Close to 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year, and 136,000 die from it.
Smoking, drinking, being overweight and having high blood pressure and cholesterol are all linked to a higher risk of stroke.

The menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea): Taking Salmon Oil alone or in combination with vitamin B12 appears to improve painful periods and decrease the need of having to use pain medications such as no steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Dr Susanna Larsson and Dr Nicola Orsini of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, wrote in the journal Stroke that omega-3 fatty- acids in fish might lower stroke risk through their positive effects on blood pressure and cholesterol.

Dr Mozaffarian said that vitamin D, selenium and certain types of proteins in fish may also have stroke-related benefits. Data for the analysis came from close to 400,000 people aged 30 to 103. The studies were done in the US, Europe, Japan and China.

http://health.slides.kaboose.com/172-feel-good-foods-mood-boosters/3
Over anywhere from a few years to a few decades, about 9,400 people had a stroke. Eating three extra servings of fish each week was linked to a 6 per cent drop in stroke risk, which translates into one fewer stroke among a hundred people eating extra fish over a lifetime.
And the people in each study who ate the most fish were 12 per cent less likely to have a stroke than those that ate the least.
