As everyone knows, one of Canada's specialties is salmon. Are you aware of the benefits of salmon? Many people may find it difficult to accept eating raw salmon, but it is indeed the most nutritious way to consume it. Have you heard that the world's longest-living man is in Iceland and the longest-living woman is in Japan? This is because both Iceland and Japan have salmon as a staple food. Research shows that eating more salmon can not only extend life but also help women maintain a youthful appearance, among other health benefits. Our Canadian immigration friends might want to give it a try.
【Weight Loss】
Salmon contains a variety of unsaturated fatty acids. This nutrient not only does not cause weight gain but also helps lower blood lipids and cholesterol, aiding in weight loss. It enhances the body's ability to lose weight through its rich nutrition. For those who consume a lot of energy daily, it can quickly replenish high-quality protein and other rich nutrients without the risk of gaining weight.
【Beauty】
Salmon contains Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. These Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, which can only be obtained through diet, play a key role in moisturizing the skin and preventing and removing wrinkles. Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids are components of the skin barrier; supplementing them can help the skin lock in moisture, achieving moisturizing and hydrating effects.
【Brain Boosting】
Currently, many parents consciously provide fish oil to their children. Numerous studies have shown that one of the most important substances in fish oil, DHA (commonly known as "brain gold"), can not only promote children's brain development but also boost immunity. Salmon is a leader among fish, containing 4 to 5 times more DHA than other fish.
【Calcium Supplementation】
Salmon liver oil is rich in Vitamin D and other nutrients. Vitamin D can improve the body's absorption of trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus, which is especially suitable for young people who are growing and developing. Some people who work in industries like clothing and have little opportunity to be exposed to sunlight should also supplement Vitamin D in a timely manner.
【Anti-Aging】
In addition to Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, salmon also contains another powerful antioxidant component—astaxanthin, which gives salmon its orange-red color. The antioxidant capacity of astaxanthin is 550 to 1000 times that of ordinary Vitamin E. It can effectively fight free radicals, delay skin aging, and protect the skin from UV damage.
【Cancer Prevention】
The nutritional value of salmon also occupies a "golden ratio" of ideal diet, meaning the ideal ratio of Vitamin E to polyunsaturated fatty acids in food is 0.4, while salmon's ratio is as high as 0.73, demonstrating its high nutritional value and balanced nutrient distribution. A Swedish scientist confirmed that women who eat salmon once a week have a much lower chance of developing kidney cancer than others. If one eats salmon regularly, the risk of developing kidney cancer is 74% lower than those who do not eat salmon.
【Preventing Chronic Diseases】
Salmon can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of chronic diseases such as diabetes. It has high nutritional value and enjoys the reputation of being a "treasure from the water."
