Alaska
Salmon are one of nature's original health foods. Alaska Salmon swim
freely in the cold, clean waters of the North Pacific, allowing them
to spawn, grow and mature at a natural rate. As a result, Alaska salmon
have a natural flavor, firm texture and color ranging from pink to
dark red. Essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 are also found in
abundance in Alaska Salmon.
Scientists have known for years that Omega-3 offers
heart-healthy benefits, including:
• Helping to decrease blood lipids (cholesterol, LDL's, and
triglycerides)
• Reducing blood clotting factors
• Increasing relaxation in larger arteries and blood vessels
• Decreasing the inflammatory processes in blood vessels
Additionally, the Omega-3 oils found in Alaska Salmon
have been linked to improvements in or prevention of certain kinds
of cancer, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, arthritis, asthma, certain
kinds of mental illness, depression and lupus. Alaska Salmon are a
popular choice in restaurants because of these promising health benefits
as well as their great taste and texture.
