How Salmon Keeps Your Heart Fit and Your Bones Strong.

The word “salmon” is used to refer to several kinds of fish. Trout, char and grayling also belong to the salmon family. They are born and bred in fresh water, while they spend their adulthood in the sea. Thus, they are considered anadromous.

In case of salmon, both folklore and science are in agreement: it is enormously rich in vitamins and minerals and is tremendously beneficial for the heart and the bones.

Health benefits

1. Salmon is beneficial in treating osteoarthritis and other kinds of joint inflammation. Salmon has proteins known as Bioactive Peptides. One particular peptide (called calcitonin) increases and regulates the synthesis of collagen in osteoarthritic cartilage. This protein improves bone density and strength.

2. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. It has been shown to be crucial to brain function. Eating salmon regularly decreases the risk of depression in the young as well as cognitive degeneration in the elderly.

3. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is another kind of omega-3 fatty acid. Along with DHA, it is enormously beneficial in maintaining cardiovascular health. If you eat salmon regularly then the risk of blood clotting becomes decreased. Salmon helps to dilate and relax the blood vessels. This protects you from heart attack, stroke and high blood pressure.

4. Eating salmon twice a week greatly reduces the chances of macular degeneration. If you suffer from dry eye syndrome, eat two to four servings of salmon every week.

5. Eating salmon while pregnant helps to boost the cognitive ability of the unborn child. Preschool kids who eat salmon are less likely to suffer from ADHD.

6. Salmon is rich in vitamin D. This vitamin is important in maintaining optimal health. You are less likely to get cancer and heart disease as well as arthritis if you take vitamin D regularly.

7. Salmon contains tryptophan which is a natural sedative. It helps to induce sleep in patients with mild insomnia. It also decreases the time taken to fall asleep.

8. A single portion of salmon contains 48% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B. This vitamin is important for the proper functioning of the nervous system. .

How to find and store salmon

Fresh salmon is kept buried in ice, while steaks

are placed on top of ice. Try to smell to the salmon before buying. Don’t buy it if it smells “off”.

If you want to store salmon then keep it in a cool place since the fish is very sensitive to heat. You can increase the shelf life of salmon by freezing it. A thoroughly frozen salmon will stay good for about two weeks.

Best way to cook salmon

Try to buy a whole salmon side. If necessary, you can have the skin removed. The skin has been shown to contain many nutrients so try to keep it on.

The best way to cook salmon is to make sure that the end product is moist and tender. Try not to overcook it since it becomes dry and loses its nutritional richness. We suggest the “Quick Broil” method. Don’t cook or grill salmon in direct flame.
