The Best Fish of All is Wild Salmon From Alaska
General awareness of what constitutes healthy food and what constitutes junk food is on the rise, and if we are to compare it to the general awareness of the issue of only a decade or two ago, the increase is really quite amazing.
Study upon study has been published in recent years detailing-with scientific exactitude-what the good and the bad are in the average diet, and how to maximize the former and minimize the latter.
A conclusion that has been present in virtually all of these studies: consuming more seafood, effectively incorporating it into our regular diets is one of the most significant changes we can make.
Of the varieties of seafood being touted as particularly beneficial to our health are those with low levels of artificial contaminants, like wild Alaska salmon.
The great thing about salmon caught in the wild and teeming waters off the coast of Alaska is that the ecosystems they occupy are still relatively free of pollutants-unlike the open waters being prowled by other fisheries, or the waters of artificial fish farms (especially the latter!).
Wild Alaska salmon, just like the vast majority of fish caught in the pristine Alaskan waters, has negligible or directly nonexistent levels of PCBs, mercury, and other contaminants that are particularly common in fish raised and harvested in fish farms which, unfortunately, are providing a lot of the fish that we find in our supermarkets and seafood stores.
That is why it is so important to check the label on any seafood product to make sure that it was caught in the wild.
Yet not all wild seafood products attain the nutritional excellence of wild Alaska salmon; in reality, few of them even come close! What wild salmon from Alaska is so rich in is the oh-so important molecule known as omega 3 fatty acid, which contributes to better health in a wide variety of ways.
Omega 3s are absolutely necessary in our bodies, but we cannot produce them on our own; though there are plant sources of this vital molecular compound, they pale in comparison to wild Alaska salmon (both in sheer quantity and because our bodies have to work harder to make the plant variety serve a purpose).
So, if you want a more stable heart, a stronger immune system, better cholesterol, and a more vigorous brain...
eat some more Alaska salmon, caught in the wild!
