It’s no new news that Salmon is good for you but we thought you should get to know exactly how good this pink fish really is when it’s true wild salmon (not farmed). Salmon is without a doubt one of the best foods to eat when it comes to health foods. Salmon is true brain food and as an added bonus it’s good for the body too. Salmon is one of the best sources you can get for Essential Fatty Acids such as Omega 3, rich in protein, low in saturated fat, has minimal contaminants present and a wealth of other attributes that help us become healthy individuals.

If wild, Salmon can help prevent Dementia, adjust mood for the better, improve synaptic connections (that’s good too), improve your arteries (good for the heart naturally), reduce your risk of stroke and Alzheimer’s.

Enjoy life.

Healthy eating habits.

Knowing the best health foods isn’t always everything you need to know when it comes to great health diet programs. Knowing what storage processes and how to cook it is also a vital part of being healthier. Obviously frying healthy foods makes them significantly less beneficial for you but there are other things you need to be aware of as well. In fact you can lose around 50 to 80% of the nutrients in your food by using conventional cooking methods. The best way to cook healthy food is to steam it. Naturally steaming foods are a great way to keeping the nutrients you need. If you are boiling your vegetables try adding some of the water you used to your gravy as quite a few nutrients will have been transferred to the water in the process and it will also add extra flavor to the gravy. These methods aren’t perfect but they can help to maintain more minerals nutrients from the food.

In reality, there are many more food stuffs out there that are great health promoters. The problem is, many of them will be prepared in an unhealthy way or stored in a way which takes most of the nutrients away. Ideally you want as many fresh foods as possible in your fridge but because they don’t last forever, frozen foods are the next best thing. Some nutrients are lost during the freezing process but they still have relatively high levels when you compare them to tinned goods. Try to avoid all tinned vegetables as much as possible. Not only will most of their nutrients have been reduced dramatically but they will also contain other ingredients such as preservatives and excess oil, salt or sugar.
