Ready to dive in? Take a look at these health benefits to adding salmon to your diet from HealthLine.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Salmon is considered one of the best sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids are good for you–so good in fact, they’re considered essential to your diet since the body does not naturally create it.
EPA and DHA have been proven to decrease inflammation, lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of cancer and improve the function of the cells that line your arteries. Want to reach your Omega-3 needs? Consume two servings of salmon a week. Your body will thank you!

Protein Gains
Ready to get your gains? Then you need protein! Protein is essential for bone health and preventing muscle loss.
Did you know that a 3.5-ounce serving of salmon contains 22–25 grams of protein.
B Vitamins
There are seven types of B vitamins in salmon. Why does this matter? Your body needs B vitamins for energy production, controlling inflammation and protecting heart and brain health.
In a study published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, researchers studied healthy men and women for four weeks as they consumed two servings of farmed salmon per week. The result? Increased omega-3 blood levels by 8–9% and decreased omega-6 levels which is connected to heart disease.
Potassium
Have you been told if your potassium is low to snack on a banana? Incorporating salmon into your diet will also do the trick! In fact, it contains more potassium than an equivalent amount of banana, which provides 10% of the recommended daily intake.
What’s the benefit? Potassium can control blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke and prevent excess water retention.
