The Health Benefits of Salmon

Seafood does not only taste good - it is also good for your mental and physical health. The presence of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, makes seafood a healthy choice.

Not only is salmon a delicious food to eat it also has a number of well documented health giving qualities. The most beneficial of these are listed below.

Diet and Coronary Health

Salmon offers a very positive contribution to coronary health and when regularly included within the weekly diet, the benefits to coronary and cardiovascular health become apparent. Salmon is widely recognised as an extremely healthy contributor to a balanced diet.

Omega 3 fatty acids for healthy Heart and Circulation

Salmon is high in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are widely recognised as being major contributors to a healthy heart. A well balanced diet with regular intake of Omega 3 fatty acids is acknowledged to reduce incidents of cholesterol, heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders. This is born out in countries such as Japan, where salmon is a regular part of the daily diet and incidents of heart disease are below the norm.
