Enjoy This Incredible Salmon Avocado Salad Bone Healthy Recipe

By Patterson Riley

Salmon is one of the healthiest and nutritious foods on the planet! Besides being packed with high amounts of the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is also a powerhouse of numerous vitamins and minerals. A 4.0-ounce piece of wild-caught salmon is enough to provide you with most of the essential nutrients your body needs for various functions. I absolutely love salmon topped with some avocado salad as you will see in my recipe. It’s simply delicious and nutritious, and very easy to make.

But first, let’s talk about salmon and its Omega 3 fatty acids.

Salmon is reputed for its high amounts of beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. Actually, it’s one of the richest sources of the beneficial fatty acids on the planet. As you’ve probably heard, these fatty acids play a crucial role in keeping your body healthy and in the prevention of various chronic conditions. Omega 3 is especially great for cardiovascular health and significantly boosts brain health, which is why it’s one of the most popular supplements. Omega-3;

• Improves your heart health by reducing systematic inflammation in the heart and reducing your risk of developing cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and stroke
• Improves your eye health and treats age-related macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome
• Keeps your skin healthy and prevents free-radical damage
• Boosts brain healthy by improving focus and memory especially in children
• Protects the nervous system and helps in neurological repair
• Prevents joint inflammation and osteoporosis by keeping bones and joints healthy
• Kills different types of cancer such as breast, liver, colorectal, skin cancer…etc

Salmon provides Omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA. According to American Heart Association (AHA), salmon provides 1.1 to 1.9g total Omega-3 fatty acids. 100 grams of raw salmon provides you with 40% protein, 53% Vitamin B-12, 30% Vitamin B-6, 6% Vitamin C, and 6% magnesium. Plus the fish is quite low in saturated fats (3.1g) with significantly low levels of cholesterol. It’s an excellent substitute for beef, lamb, or pork.

Besides omega-3, salmon is packed with essential minerals such as calcium, iron, selenium, phosphorous, potassium, as well as magnesium. The fish is also rich in essential vitamins such as A, B, and D. Selenium is a crucial trace element that plays an important role in the metabolism of tissue, hair, and nails. Salmon is one of the richest sources of this trace element.

Its ability to improve bone health is because of its high calcium and Vitamin D content. Both calcium and Vitamin D play a crucial role in proper bone development and improving strength to prevent osteoporosis.

One study found that the calcium in salmon is absorbed more readily in the body compared to calcium from other sources. This indicates why you should regularly add salmon to your diet for strong, healthy bones. It’s a perfect food for the whole family.

Useful Tips
