Continuing with my Top Ten Healthiest Foods in the World Series.
In case you missed other posts you can find them here:
Now for the # 5 healthiest food in the world. As you can see from the photo, it is Salmon.
I will also list the reasons they are healthy. Something to think about when you decide what you should be eating.
Salmon is packed with good source of vitamins, minerals and proteins. It can be one of the best foods you should add to your diet list. Choose only the wild or organically farmed salmons. Because many of pink colored salmons you see in the supermarkets are a result of heavy use of dyes.
Health benefits of salmon
- Salmon contains two important omega 3 fatty acids – EPA and DHA. These omega 3 fatty acids prevent against cardiovascular disease, brain diseases, reduce inflammation and blood clots.
- The DHA omega 3 fatty acids in salmon can also improve your immune system and brain functioning.
- The natural hormone called ‘calcitonin’ that present in salmon can regulate the calcium level in your body. It helps to improve the bone mass and density. So the salmon can be a great food for people with osteoarthritis, a medical condition that weaken bones.
- The Vitamin D and Selenium in salmon can regulate the level of insulin in your body.
- The omega 3 fatty acids present in salmon fishes are also great for healthy eyes. The sufficient intake of salmons can reduce the risk of numerous eye problems such as chronic dry eye and macular degeneration.
- Salmon is also a great food to improve your mood and cognition.

Things going ok in your world?
how did I miss my 3rd favorite fish! i love salmon!!!
Not sure but it is my favorite fish.
i struggle with the scrolling issue. I go to your profile and respond to all your new posts. I don’t know how I missed it.
so sorry!
Not a problem, lately I have been posting extra to make up for deductions.
i can understand that, i am considering options.
Salmon has always been a favorite. My late husband and I would purchase salmon and salt it and then put it thinly sliced on bread or crackers and it was always delicious.
Same here, I love it grilled or baked with sweet potatoes.
I love fish but I don’t like salmon too much.
You either like it or you don’t, it has a distinct flavor but if cooked properly I love it.
For us, things continue to get worse for now. New field hospitals in Madrid are being built for light-infected people. I like Salmon and when it’s on offer I buy whole.
Same here my friend. Stay healthy. And thanks for the comment.
Looks like the poll questions are not working right now. Sorry.
