Salmon provides a powerful food source

Salmon provides a powerful food source and it can be a great weekly meal addition with many benefits for the mind and body. The fish is high in Omega-3 fatty acids which also contains the nutrients DHA and EPA. These nutrients are essential for healthy brain function. The lifecycle of a Salmon begins in fresh waters and during their lives they travel through the open waters. They have the ability to return back to their birthplace to mate. Due to the Salmon’s ability to have a distinct knowledge of how to return to where they were born, it is thought that they have a high cognitive level. People may associate this intellect of the salmon to our consumption of the salmon and corresponding increased levels of human intellect.

In addition to Salmon providing essential nutrients for healthy brain function, they provide benefits associated with the cardiovascular system, eye health, mood improvement, and decreased cancer risk. It has been researched that when people consume regular meals of Salmon 2-3 times per week, it  may lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease. The Omega 3-fatty acids found in Salmon have also been found to decrease the risk of certain brain related inadequacies including depression. It may also help decrease hostility that some teenagers may experience. Macular degeneration and chronic dry eye are two diseases that can be prevented with the consumption of Salmon which contains high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. There is also a lower risk of certain types of cancer including colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer when Salmon is consumed at least once a week.

While Salmon has a wealth of powerful benefits for the body and mind, it is also tasty. I can tell you from experience of someone who consumed it just this evening, it is a light and moist selection of fish that makes you feel good as well. Consuming Salmon 2 to 3 times can  lead to better overall health and well being.
