Salmon and Omega 3's
Salmon is a great source of protein to enjoy on keto. It is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids, high in B vitamins, and good source of potassium. All vitamins that are essential for healthy body functions.
Omega 3 fatty acids are an essential nutrient that may assist in preventing and managing heart disease, blood pressure, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The human body is unable to produce omega 3's, so consuming fish and seafood are a great way to nourish your body with it.
Fish highest in omega-3s are mackerel, salmon, herring, oysters, sardines, and anchovies.Consuming fish at least 2-3 times a week is a great way to supplement your diet with nutrients and omega-3's.
