2 Reasons to Eat Salmon
Salmon - particularly wild-caught Alaskan salmon and canned sockeye salmon - is one of my favorite foods. Salmon is readily available fresh, frozen and canned, making it a versatile choice, and it can be easily prepared to satisfy a wide variety of individual tastes. But the most compelling reason to eat salmon regularly is its nutritional benefits, including:
- Omega-3 fatty acids, the anti-inflammatory, essential fats our bodies need for optimum health. Omega-3s from eating salmon and other oily fish offer protection against heart attack, stroke, cancer, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and mental and emotional problems.
- High-quality protein. A bonus is that salmon has far less saturated fat than is found in meat and poultry.
