TAKING A FRESH LOOK AT FARMED SALMON
Salmon's Importance to a Healthy Diet
Salmon is a primary source of Omega 3 fatty acids and every day the list of benefits from these fatty acids grows as new studies confirm the benefits of increased consumption.
Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack Two long-term Harvard studies reported in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association indicate that several weekly helpings of fatty fish--a prime source of omega-3 fatty acids--appear to protect men and women from heart disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids help heart attack survivors An increasing amount of evidence strongly suggests that increasing omega-3 fatty acids in the diet helps prevent heart disease in all people and increased consumption levels may dramatically cut the mortality rate in heart attack survivors. The basic recommendation by the American Heart Association for prevention of Coronary Heart Disease is currently two servings of oily fish, like salmon, a week. For people who have had a heart attack, the recommendation is 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acid per day
Reduce inflammation and joint pain Numerous studies show that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and joint pain.
Reduced incidence of Alzheimer's Disease A recent study at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging shows consumption of salmon once a week among people aged 65-94 reduced the incidence of Alzheimer's disease by 60 percent, compared to those who rarely or never ate fish. This study supports the findings of two previous European studies.
Omega-3 fatty acids may be beneficial to depression sufferers Several studies indicate the possibility of beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids on various forms of depression.
An Important Nutrition Component for Unborn and Breast-Fed Babies DHA, one of the types of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon, is critical to normal eye and vision development in infants. And, other studies show signs of improved brain development.
DID YOU KNOW
Since the omega-3 content varies widely in fish, it is important to note that farmed Atlantic salmon, at 1.9 grams per serving, and to a varying degree most species of wild salmon, provide higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids than most other fish sources:
-
Fresh yellowfin tuna provides 0.2 grams per serving
-
Swordfish provides 0.6 grams per serving
-
Flounder provides 0.2 grams per serving
-
Mackerel, at 2.5 grams per serving, is another high-level source of omega-3 fatty acids.
