However, excessive inflammation can give rise to chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes (2Trusted Source).
Research suggests that the omega-3 fats found in salmon oil can suppress your body’s inflammatory response in a variety of ways. For instance, it’s thought to reduce levels of pro-inflammatory chemicals produced by immune cells Pacific Rockfish
A serving of salmon -- 3 to 4 ounces -- is about 200 calories. It's very low in saturated fat and a good source of protein. It's also one of the best sources of vitamin B12. It's also bursting in potassium and other nutrients like iron and vitamin D. The vitamin B12 in salmon keeps blood and nerve cells humming and helps you make DNA. But for your health, the true beauty of salmon is its wealth of omega-3 fatty acids. Most omega-3s are "essential" fatty acids. Your body can’t make them, but they play critical roles in your body.
Salmon oil is best known for being an exceptionally rich source of omega-3 fats. The inflammatory response is an important part of your body’s immune system. Research suggests that the omega-3 fats found in salmon oil can suppress your body’s inflammatory response in a variety of ways. For instance, it’s thought to reduce levels of pro-inflammatory chemicals produced by immune cells.
Research indicates that the omega-3s found in salmon oil may play a role in lowering triglycerides and raising HDL cholesterol. A study in 92 men with high cholesterol and triglycerides compared the effects of eating salmon to eating other types of protein.
The men who ate salmon every day for eight weeks experienced a significant reduction in triglycerides and a significant increase in HDL cholesterol, compared with those who consumed other protein sources.
Adequate intake of omega-3 fats from sources like salmon oil supports skin health and may reduce the risk of certain age-related eye diseases. Fresh, frozen, or canned salmon are all great options. For an easy weeknight dinner, season a salmon fillet with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil and roast it on a sheet pan with a variety of nutrient-dense vegetables. Try using canned salmon to make an herbed or curried salmon salad. Serve it as a sandwich or on a bed of leafy greens for a light and satisfying lunch.
