Which food provides your body with cardiovascular protection, a lower risk of visual impairment and protection against stroke?

The answer is salmon – fresh, smoked or canned. Eating fish helps reduce the risk of diseases – from childhood asthma to prostate cancer.

It’s for this reason that Australia’s National Health And Medical Research Council suggests people eat fish at least twice a week. It’s low in fat, high in protein, rich in vitamin D and a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids.

With so many healthy ways fish can be enjoyed, including baked, poached, grilled and steamed, even the fussiest eaters in your family will be satisfied when you serve it up for lunch or dinner.
