Wild Salmon
Wild Salmon!
Research suggests that a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and there is no shortage of them in well-raised Salmon!
Did you know that ample servings of Salmon dishes out your recommended intake of omega-3s, including DHA? DHA is the Docosahexaenoic acid attributed to improving cognitive function, specifically in middle-aged adults. Salmon also packs 17 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving!
Consuming fish does come with one catch, though, and that is that wild-caught is much healthier than farm-raised due to the higher toxicity level of the water they live in. For pregnant women, nursing women, and children, a general rule of thumb regarding any fish is only to consume lower in mercury fish, such as canned tuna, catfish, or our catch-of-the-day, Salmon.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
