Protein 48 g.
Around 4 g of omega-3 Fatty Acids (mainly DHA and EPA from Salmon).
Omega-3 Fatty acids come in three forms:
- Animal sources (cold-water fish) provide DHA and EPA.
- Plant sources, like ALA, get converted in our body as EPA than DHA.
AHA recommends 1-2 servings of seafood a week. As per the NIH office of dietary supplements, the AI (Adequate Intake) of Omega-3 to ensure nutritional adequacy is 1.6 g for adult men and 1.1 g per day for adult women.
Studies have shown strong evidence between DHA and improved brain health, EPA, and Cardiovascular health. Heart diseases remain the number one killer in the U.S.
Studies show that 47% of Americans have 1 out of 3 key risk factors for CVD (high Blood Pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol).
Other main health conditions that lead to heart diseases are HTN, Diabetes, Obesity, and Hyperlipidemia per CDC. Lower your LDL and increase your HDL. I tell my patients to refer to L as lousy and H as Happy to differentiate between bad cholesterol (LDL) and good cholesterol (HDL).
