Why Salmon?

Many leading nutritionist consider salmon to be one the best foods you can eat. Thanks to an array of healthy nutrients along with a punch of protein, salmon is a fantastic food for anyone looking to eat healthier or lose weight. And thanks to its flavor and texture, you can cook salmon in endless ways.

Salmon is famous for its omega-3 fatty acids. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability.”

But the benefits of eating salmon extend far beyond those omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon also provides bioactive peptides. These improve joint cartilage health, increase insulin effectiveness, and control the inflammation of the digestive tract.

Luckily, salmon is delicious both hot and cold. It’s a perfect family meal that pairs well with other high nutrient foods like spinach and black beans. Plus you can use spices like mustard and ginger to make the meal all the more appealing.

Lastly, salmon is delicious when served cold on salads. So whether you are eating your dinner in a restaurant or eating it at home, the leftover salmon will make for a healthy lunch the next day.
