How to Choose Salmon

We've heard over and over again how salmon is really healthy for you. It is an aging backwards food. But do you know there is a difference between farm-raised salmon and wild salmon? Farm-raised salmon is actually raised in a pond. If they didn't add a certain chemical to the water, the salmon would be gray. So they add a chemical to the water to make sure the flesh of the salmon is that nice pink that you see. Salmon has a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids, which is really healthy for your heart and healthy for your brain, so you want to eat fish and include it in your diet. But if you're really looking to get healthy and keep aging backwards, you want to look for wild Alaskan salmon. Actually, this wild Alaskan salmon that comes in the pouch is really just as good as any salmon that you buy fresh. And canned salmon from the store that says "wild Alaskan salmon" is excellent for you. You can poach it or steam it or boil it with some nice asparagus, and you won't be eating the chemicals that come in the farm-raised salmon.
