Facts speak for themselves! Salmon is considered to be one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, due to its extremely high content value. Salmon is rich in a protective antioxidant, astaxanthin, and it is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. However, it is the content of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon that receives the most attention, and rightly so, as they are called “brain food”.
Let us have a more thorough look at its nutritional values:
– It is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammations, lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for many brain diseases.
– Salmon is also rich in high quality protein. Protein promotes weight loss, maintain muscle mass, and can help the body heal faster.
– It is an excellent source of B vitamins. All of them are important for the body, to turn food into energy, and to create and repair DNA.
– It contains a decent amount of selenium. Selenium helps in the protection of bone health, thyroid function, and reduce the risk of cancer.
– It doesn’t only help fight cancer, but salmon is also credited with helping extend life span and avoid heart attacks.
– Astaxanthin is important in benefiting the heart, brain and nervous system.
