Salmon and other types of fish including tuna, mackerel and trout contain important nutrients called Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3’s work to reduce inflammation and slow plaque buildup in the blood vessels. Omega 3’s can also help to reduce triglyceride levels which lead to a healthier heart! Aim to incorporate fish into your diet twice a week!
