*Wild Salmon : Salmon is an excellent source of protein, minus the saturated fat of course. The fish has gained popularity as a superb health food because of its omega 3 fatty acids. Research studies have shown that omega 3 fatty acids help in decreasing a person’s risk of abnormal heartbeats, or arrhythmia, which can cause sudden death. This is according to information given by the American Heart Association (AHA). Aside from this, omega 3 fatty acids can also help lower triglyceride levels, help regulate one’s blood pressure, and prevent fatty plaques from depositing into the walls of your blood vessels. To say therefore that salmon is good for the heart would be the understatement of the century. The AHA recommends that we all eat fish at least twice a week. But remember to choose wild salmon over farmed salmon because the latter has a lot of PCB contaminants.
