Is salmon good for you?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The short answer to that question is:\u00a0 maybe, or it depends.<\/p>\n

We hear so often: Eat\u00a0salmon; Salmon is full\u00a0of omega-3 fatty acids; Salmon is full of fish oil; Salmon is good for you.<\/p>\n

People don\u2019t necessarily realize that eating the RIGHT kind of salmon matters.<\/p>\n

Farmed salmon and wild salmon do not have the same nutritional make-up; they don’t live in the same environment or eat the same food. It’s really not the same fish at all. Farmed salmon, not only doesn\u2019t have the same properties, it\u2019s actually BAD for you. \u00a0I\u2019ve encountered enough people who eat salmon, especially out, and think they are doing themselves a favor, when in fact, it\u2019s actually harmful.\u00a0 Farmed salmon is harmful.<\/em><\/p>\n

If salmon is WILD, then it has a bunch of wonderful characteristics that we are looking for: \u00a0fish oil and a good ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Also, wild salmon is\u00a0higher in minerals, including potassium, zinc and iron. Farmed salmon has high concentrations of antibiotics, pesticides, and lower levels of healthy nutrients.<\/p>\n

The technical info; if you don\u2019t like technical details, skip this paragraph:<\/p>\n

A big problem with the typical diet these days, is that our fatty acids have gotten out of balance. \u00a0Historically, we evolved eating\u00a0a ratio of 1:1 of omega-3 and omega-6, but the Western diet is now skewed to 1:15-17. This is part of why we are not healthy, the new imbalance.\u00a0 Today we eat way more omega-6, which are the man-made oils: safflower oil, corn oil, processed oils, sunflower oil, margarine, trans fat, hydrogenated oils. \u00a0Repeated studies have shown that this imbalance can contribute to cancers, inflammation, and other issues. Lowering omega-6 and getting closer to 1:1 also has a positive impact on disease and inflammation.<\/p>\n

Short version:\u00a0 to have a better balance of omega-3 fatty acids, eat WILD salmon<\/strong>.\u00a0 Never eat farmed salmon which is bad for you.<\/p>\n

I can already hear you:\u00a0 wild salmon is so expensive.\u00a0 It is.\u00a0 Trader Joe has frozen salmon which is a little less expensive; Costco has wild salmon for even less if you buy a big piece \u2013 share it with your neighbor.<\/p>\n

Know that to get the benefit of salmon, you need to be eating wild salmon and avoiding at all costs farmed salmon.\u00a0 NO salmon is better than farmed salmon.\u00a0 Most places we eat out, if it doesn\u2019t specifically say WILD, it\u2019s probably farmed.\u00a0 Be sure to ask.\u00a0 Your good health is at stake.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
