Fish has so many health benefits and Salmon is a great place to start if you don't *love* fish.

Did you know that it is essential for our bodies to have fatty acids? BUT our body cannot naturally make essential fatty acids, so we have to eat them. Fish takes care of those omega 3s & 6s! So, yup is it essential for you to eat fish.

Fish is the best source of omega 3 that converts quickest, helping to fight inflammation. Our body needs Omega 3, 6 & 9 for sooo many functions: brain, skin, cardiovascular, digestion, muscles, hormones.... prrrrretty much every part of your body.

Other sources of omegas are animal fat, Avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, and fishhhh.
