Your Health and Omega-3

Pacific Northwest Salmon is a rich source of heart-healthy polyunsaturated fat called Omega-3 fatty acids or basically good fats. Omega-3s are found mainly in fat rich fish such as salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines. Omega-3s provide health benefits not found in other food types. These fats can benefit the body by:

  • Lowering Triglycerides

  • Reducing blood pressure

  • Improving blood circulation

  • Improving blood clotting regulation

  • Reducing abnormal heart rhythms

  • Improving glucose and insulin metabolism

Omega-3 fatty acids have shown promise in the prevention and treatment of certain cancers, including colon cancer, and with inflammatory conditions , such as rheumatoid arthritis. It has similarly promising results in the ability to relieve depression.

The American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association advocate eating fish rich in fatty acids as a safe way to obtain heart healthy benefits of Omega-3s. Eating salmon regularly is an important strategy to improve your health.
