Health Benefits
Fresh Scottish Salmon is a natural healthy choice containing many nutritional benefits.
For instance compared to hamburger, steak, and pork loin, salmon contains 20 % more protein.
Salmon is a highly digestible protein packed with vitamin A and carotenoids, which are thought to help prevent cancer.
Additional nutritional benefits associated with salmon, which have been well researched and documented in medical
journals include:
* An average portion of salmon provides over half the daily allowance of protein.
* In addition to vitamin A and carotenoids, salmon contains B vitamins, particularly niacin and vitamin D, which helps a body to absorb calcium.
* Salmon contains far less saturated fat than an equal portion of virtually any other meat or poultry protein source.
* Salmon is an excellent source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, known as omega-3 fatty acids – these are the “good” kind of fat, which have been associated with reducing heart disease and inhibiting the onset of inflammatory diseases.
* It is no coincidence that Japan consumes the highest amount of salmon per head, and has the lowest level of heart disease in the world.
* Omega-3 fatty acids are a nutritional benefit found in all oily fish and are not contained in any meat and few other seafood products in any significant degree.
