SALMON & RED MEAT
Salmon and some lean red meats are now the standard, meat of choice
for most people and for many reasons, including vegetarians. By
eating salmon and some lean red meat, you can maintain your B6 and
B12 levels.

When your purchasing RED MEAT, use the following guidelines:

• Make sure it’s the leanest cut available;
• Have the meat cut in front of you;
• Inspect it before they wrap it;
• Buy only from stores where the meat is fresh;
• Cook it rare to medium rare to maintain the minerals.

Salmon, on the other hand, provides the highest form of protein
available without the artery clogging fat of some red meat. A 4.0 oz
[113.40 gr.] of Salmon will provide you with the following nutrients,
vitamins and minerals:

• Tryptophan (103.1%)
• Vitamin D (102.6%)
• Omega 3 Fatty Acids (86.5%)
• Selenium (83.5%)
• Protein (58.3%)
• Vitamin B3 Niacin (56.7%)
• Vitamin B12 (54.2%)
• Other Minerals (phosphorus, magnesium and Vitamin B6).

This from WholeFoods.com:

Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a

unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acids.

As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health

but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained

from foods. Fish contain a type of essential fatty acid called the omega-3

fatty acids. Wild-caught cold water fish, like salmon, are higher in omega-

3 fatty acids than warm water fish. In addition to being an excellent

source of omega-3s, salmon are an excellent source of selenium, a very

good source of protein, niacin and vitamin B12, and a good source of

phosphorous, magnesium and vitamin B6. Salmon also has the highest

EPA and DHA of any fish as well as the lowest trace amount of mercury.

ITEM: The EPA and DHA in Salmon helps

ith digestion,

expelling waste from the body,

improving eyesight and

general overall body

wellness. The fish oil from salmon is

also

ood for the prostate.
