THOOSA’S NUTRITIONAL CHRISTMAS CALENDAR - 7

If you’re pondering what to have for supper this evening why not pick the king of fish? Apart from being a fantastic source of high-quality protein (about 30 grams in a four ounce serving), salmon is one of the best food sources of omega-3 fats. These essential fats help balance the body’s inflammation response, a bodily function that when disturbed appears to be linked to many diseases including asthma.
In fact a recent study showed that people with exercise-induced asthma saw an improvement in symptoms after three weeks of eating more fish oil. If you are limiting seafood due to possible mercury contamination, try an aim for a variety of farm-raised and wild salmon for maximum health benefits. Supper sorted!
