Protein - Copper River Salmon

Adequate protein intake protects muscle mass, helping to ensure good health and quality of life in active seniors.  High quality protein helps the body to maintain lean muscle mass and is of particular importance for older adults.  If you strength train, you will need extra protein to build and repair muscle. Fish is one example of lean, high quality protein. Salmon is considered an added bonus, due to its high fat content loaded with Omega-3's.

Copper River Salmon season is here!  What is all the buzz about?  If you have ever tasted this rich, firm red fish from Alaska, you will agree it is worth the wait.  Copper River Salmon is only available a few short weeks every year. Arriving in stores right now, it can be a bit pricey per pound but well worth not only the wait, but the price.  The almost 300 miles of Alaska's Copper River turn out some of the richest and best tasting fish in the world.

Salmon is a great source for protein.  Make sure to choose wild caught salmon
