The Secret Weapon

My oldest son is turning 30 this week - wow, how did THAT time go by so fast! And if he's thirty, then I'm - well, I'm not telling you, but it's getting up there!! Foods high in omega 3 fatty acids are my new best friends - salmon, nuts and avocados are at the top, but salmon is king of the hill. While it is one of the fattier fish we eat, this provides us with a natural lubricant and moisturizer for our skin, plumping it up and hiding WRINKLES!!! It also spoils the fun of free radicals inside our body, and together with being an excellent source of protein, maintains a healthy body on the inside, making us look more radiant on the outside. Salmon is particularly high in B vitamins, known to reduce stress and raise energy levels. And last, don't forget Omega 3's make you smarter!!! (Of course, I'm mostly about the wrinkle part these days, but being smarter too is such a bonus...so, don't wait another day!! One serving size (3 1/2 ounces) is 150 calories, and 6-9 grams of fat; the more red (King, Sockeye) are higher in fat - but also moisture - and Coho and pink a little less; canned salmon is usually pink, and PERFECT for lunches or travelling. Your welcome! Have a good week, Melissa
