Now more than ever, it is so important to eat foods that have a positive impact on our physical and mental well-being.
It is common knowledge that some foods are healthier than others but many people don’t realize there are certain foods that are considered “super foods”. One super food is salmon which is not only a great source of protein but also full of Omega 3 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help boost serotonin production (serotonin stabilizes our mood, gives us feelings of well-being and happiness). The Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) in Omega 3 fats help to nourish the brain while lessening stress hormones. Salmon may also be beneficial for reducing anxiety. It contains nutrients that promote brain health including vitamin D and the omega-3 fatty acid Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). Salmon is also a wonderful source of vitamin B-12 which helps in the process of making brain chemicals that positively impact your mood. Conversely, low levels of vitamin D and B12 have also been connected to depression. With all of the great benefits of this super food, it is no wonder that experts recommend that adults eat at least two portions (a total of 8 ounces) of salmon a week! It is hard to find a deal on great salmon these days but right now your local Lococo’s has a sale on Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets for $10.99 / lb. which is a great price for fresh salmon!
