The 10 Healthiest Foods on the Planet: #5

Salmon

As a vegetarian I eat fish from time to time. Vegetarians who eat fish are called pesce-vegetarians.


Why It's Healthy:
• A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer.
• A 3-ounce serving contains almost 50 percent of your daily dose of niacin, which may protect against Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.

Quick Tip:
Opt for wild over farm-raised, which contains 16 times as much toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) as wild salmon.
