Awesome Food = Salmon


Salmon is an incredibly healthy fish packed full of protein and healthy fat. In fact, salmon contains a high amount of the omega-3 fatty acids called DHA and EPA. A vast array of scientific research has come out in the past decade highlighting the importance of getting DHA and EPA in our meals. These fats have been shown to produce positive benefits for the heart, brain, eyes, skin, metabolism, and immune system. Many people do not eat enough seafood, thus not reaping the rewards towards health. I encourage consumption of omega-3 rich fatty fish like salmon, sardines, trout, and tuna.
