Weight Control
Maintaining a healthy weight is important to a person's overall health. Not only can it reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes, but it may lower the risk of a variety of cancers.
High-protein foods, including salmon, may help individuals maintain a healthy weight by working to rein in the hormones that control appetite. This can help people feel full for a longer time, resulting in a lower calorie intake. In addition, consuming salmon may help speed up the metabolism.
