in this sweet and sour salmon dish are considered heart healthy.  In fact, salmon is one of the best sources of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.  EPA and DHA have been shown to be beneficial to heart health by decreasing inflammation (1,2), lowering blood pressure (3), and improving the function of the cells that line the arteries.  Omega-3 fatty acids are essential and must come from the diet since the human body does not create them.  The salmon, which contains the omega-3 fatty acids, are an important part of a heart healthy diet according to the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association also recommends eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids at least twice a week.  In addition, many cardiologists believe that the unsaturated fats in salmon, namely the omega-3 fatty acids, are the nutrients that may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Studies have also shown that other nutrients in salmon, along with the combination of omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk of heart problems.  These other essential nutrients include antioxidant elements of selenium and minerals of phosphorus, zinc, and potassium.  Salmon is actually very high in potassium, even more than that of the potassium rich bananas.  Potassium has also been shown to have a positive effect on lowering and regulating blood pressure.

The regular consumption of salmon may also help lower inflammation and cholesterol.  Recent studies have shown that salmon contains small bioactive protein molecules that may help control inflammation (4).  In addition, salmon also has an antioxidant called astaxanthin which seems to help lower the risk of heart disease by reducing oxidation of LDL (the "bad") cholesterol and increasing HDL (the "good") cholesterol (5).

Salmon is high in B vitamins, necessary nutrients for energy and formation of red blood cells. The vitamins B5, B6, B12, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and folate contained in salmon help create and repair DNA and also help reduce the inflammation that can lead to heart disease (6).  In August of 2009 the “Journal of the American Dietetic Association”, a survey showed that most heart failure patients have below-normal levels of the B vitamins. Again, eating salmon frequently may help with the supplementation of these vital nutrients.
