Wild Salmon

Now we are drifting onto the subject of farmed versus wild food. This is just an extension of the GMO/Non GMO debates that have surrounded the produce section of our grocery stores for ages. Wild salmon are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as a healthy, low calorie alternative to beef for people who still want some meat in their diet. Avoiding farmed salmon can do your body wonders as you’ll be bypassing a ton of chemicals in favor of a fish that has so much more flavor. Salmon also gives you a huge antioxidant boost thanks to the taurine serving you’ll get. Wild salmon on a bed of wild rice with a side of broccoli could be one of the more perfect, heart healthy, meals that we can think of.
