"As my readers know, I’ve long urged people to eat wild salmon as frequently as possible, for many reasons, including:

• Salmon is the heart-healthiest high protein food of all.

• Salmon is unique among protein foods in that it is powerfully anti-inflammatory.  This is because salmon is by far the best source of long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA, DHA, and others).

• Salmon is the richest food source of a uniquely powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory orange pigment called astaxanthin, which you can read more about in this chapter.

• Salmon is a rare dietary source of DMAE, the natural human neurochemical proven to help improve muscle tone in the face, thereby reducing wrinkles.

I always recommend wild-harvested Alaskan salmon, because it offers a far healthier fat profile than farmed salmon, and contains only negligible amounts of the manmade pollutants (PCB’s, pesticides) that occur at disturbingly high levels in typical farmed salmon. In addition, while the wild salmon fishery is universally declared safe and sustainable, salmon farms have created significant environmental problems that remain unresolved. So, I urge you to keep eating wild salmon as often as you can."
