A true superfood
Health authorities around the world advise people to include at least one portion of oily fish per week into their diets because of the associated health benefits.
Along with plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, and nuts, fish is categorised as an ’emphasised food’ in a planetary healthy diet by the EAT Lancet commission8.
Our salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals (including potassium, selenium and vitamin B12), but it is the content of the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA that receives the most attention, and rightly so!
Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for:
Omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain healthy heart by lowering blood pressure, as well as reduce the risk of sudden death, heart attack, stroke1,2,3, and coronary heart disease3,4
Omega-3 fatty support brain function and development in infants. They also possibly prevent psychiatric diseases, particularly cognitive decline in the elderly5.
Omega-3 fatty acids possibly prevent inflammation and reduce the risk of arthritis5,6.
