What makes it healthy? Salmon is a potent source of omega-3 fatty acids which help decrease triglycerides, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk and reduce irregular heartbeats. Hearts of palm contain fiber, which lowers risk of heart disease. Avocados are not only a good source of healthy fats, but also potassium, which is linked to reduce blood pressure. Plus, including a source of lean protein helps curve your appetite.
