Superfood to try: Salmon
"One of the best natural sources of omega 3 fats, thought to be helpful in
keeping your heart healthy. Omega 3s are also often low in the American diet
and it's thought that low levels might contribute to inflammation in the body,
which is a marker for many chronic diseases. Salmon is an excellent source of
vitamin D, which many New Englanders are deficient in, particularly during
winter months. And if you can eat canned salmon with the bones, it's also a
good source of calcium. I'll often recommend that patients mix a can of salmon
in when they are making tuna salad to boost the nutritional quality of their
meal, " Gelsomin says.
