Salmon

All fish are great sources of protein. But cold-water fish, like salmon are the ultimiate sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are the fats our bodies can’t produce, so it is essential we include them in our diet.

Omega-3’s offer many of the following benefits: reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer,
minimizes the symptoms of arthritis and inflammatory diseases, contribute to healthy skin and hair, and
may help with depression.

If you don’t like fish you can also get your omega-3s from flaxseed, almonda, walnuts and grass-fed beef. Alternative sources are of a lesser nutritional quality than the those found in seafood.
