On a weekly basis, Sophie and I have poached salmon for breakfast. She really likes it, thank goodness. I try to ensure she gets supplements for brain support with the Omega 3, DHA and EPA. Studies have shown that fish oil not only helps with depression and anxiety issues, but aids in concentration, coordination and memory. As for the dogs, they start drooling at the sight of me preparing the salmon; they know they get the skin. It's the only time I see Ernie eat from our hand without it first falling on the ground. He's very persnickety about his food. He's not a normal dog. But the salmon, he eats with gusto.
There are about 5 nutritional supplements I like to incorporate in our health regimen and salmon is one of the them. Alaskan salmon is an oily fish rich in Omega 3 fats, protein and vitamin D.
I've always known omega fats aid blood circulation and help reduce blood pressure which in turn reduces the risk of a heart attack significantly. Even so I've learned it's probably one of the best anti-inflammatory food; and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a powerful biological antioxidant that has been shown to slow down the oxidative damage in cells, as well as stabilize or even reverse cell damage in the brain for example.
From what I understand the medicinal effects of ALA is not fully understood, other than it's quite effective as an antioxidant because it has the unique ability to recycle itself and other important antioxidants C and E, increasing it's effectiveness in scavenging free radicals.
