Mar 5 2017 - 3:30am

With depression-fighting, mood-boosting omega-3s [1] (plus anti-anxiety magnesium), immune-system-fortifying selenium, tons of protein for building strong muscles, and ample amounts of B vitamins for energy, salmon is truly a superfood (make sure you opt for wild-caught [2]!) It's a lean, low-calorie choice for weight loss, has a high amount [3] of BCAAs for muscle recovery [4], and makes for a delicious main course or addition to salads.
