Salmon a Super Food

Salmon is a type of fish that is born in fresh water, migrates to the ocean, and then returns to fresh water when they are ready to lay their eggs. It’s a curious thing, and one that makes the fish somewhat unique. Salmon is found in many areas across the globe and is one of the most popular fish caught for food.

Salmon is touted as a super food for the heart, joints and memory.  Wild salmon is one of the heathiest foods around as it contains two forms of omega-3 fatty acides.  Omega 3′s can help lower the risk for heart disease, help arthitis, reduce inflammation, improve circulation and may also help with memory issues.  Omega 3 fatty acids can also be found in other fatty, cold water fish such as herring, sardines and mackerel.  You should aim for 2-3 servings of omega-3 fish a week
