Salmon

Description

Health Benefits

The vitamin B12 in salmon keeps blood and nerve cells humming and helps you make DNA. But for your health, the true beauty of salmon is its wealth of omega-3 fatty acids. Most omega-3s are “essential” fatty acids. Your body can’t make them, but they play critical roles in your body. They can lower the chance that you’ll have:

• Cardiovascular disease (including heart attack and stroke)
• Some types of cancer
• Dementia
• Alzheimer’s and other cognitive diseases
