Oregon Seafood in Hillsboro Oregon

1 Wild Salmon is an organically pure and natural source of essential omega 3 fatty acids and powerful biological antioxidants. Each 3 1/2 ounce serving of our Wild Salmon contains a minimum of 1.2 grams of (EPA) and (DHA) both vital nutrients proven in clinical studies to promote optimal health and to prevent or improve numerous adverse health conditions.

2 Eating Wild Salmon is good for you. Almost all U.S.A. and Canadian nutritional experts recommend that people include at least 2 servings of fish a week in their diets. For Instance the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation’s spokesperson and nutritionist Rosie Schwartz says. “Every meal you eat that features fish rather than meat, is one more meal with less saturated fat”. Although many people may be tempted to supplement their diets with fish oils experts advise that if you want to increase the amount of omega 3 fatty acids in your diet, the best way is to eat more fish such as wild salmon, trout and mackerel. Eating broiled, baked or steamed fish two to three times a week is a good way of increasing the omega 3 fatty acids in your diet.

3 Salmon and your Mental Health

4 Why fish is called “brain food?” The human brain is more than 60% fat! The majority of fat in the brain is the type that cannot be made by the body, but must be supplied by the diet. The fats essential for optimal brain activity are the omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and, to a lesser extent, alpha linolenic acid (ALA). The omega-3 fatty acids have beneficial properties that have been studied in the treatment of a number of mental conditions ranging from Depression and Bipolar Disorder to Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Stress.

5 Today’s society is relatively deficient in these powerful brain building omega-3 fatty acids. Gone are the days of eating simple diets full of fish, seeds and nuts; our diets are now full of processed foods that are lacking in the good, essential fats. To ensure you are receiving sufficient quantities of omega-3 fatty acids, fatty, cold water fish, such as wild salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines and anchovies should fill your plate, as well as other valuable omega-3 sources derived from oil-bearing nuts and seeds, such as walnuts, flaxseed and flax oil.

6 The brain requires more omega 3 fatty acids than any other system in the body. Eat Salmon to get sufficient quantities of (EPA) and (DHA) in the diet, the membranes of the brain perform at their peak level, which is essential for regulating mood, emotions, and staving off depression. In the absence of (EPA) and (DHA) the brain will choose an alternate source of lipids such as an omega 6 or monounsaturated fat which has very different properties from omega 3 and could therefore negatively affect your mental health. To build a healthy brain, eat Salmon.
