The Salad That Helps Diseases and Illnesses
The Salmon Salad is a wonderfully healthy dish that is full of lean protein, healthy fats (such as olive oil and fish oil), and non starchy vegetables, while decreasing starches sugars, and saturated fats, and eliminating hydrogenated oils.
Recent research has shown that a Mediterranean diet, which includes lots of olive oil, is not only generally healthy, but that consuming moderate olive oil can actually help lower harmful LDL cholesterol. Olive oil contains antioxidants that discourage artery clogging and chronic diseases, including cancer (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 61, 1338S-1345S). A recent study showed that the Mediterranean diet was helpful in reducing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (Ann Rheum Dis 2003; 62: 192-195).
The salad and salmon diet, of 3 or more Salmon Salads a week, is beneficial for:
- hypercholesterolemia
- syndrome X
- insulin resistance
- elevated triglycerides
- weight loss
- hypertension
- certain types of cancer
- poor immune function
- inflammatory and auto-immune conditions
- general health
Many other conditions benefit from customized versions of the Salad and Salmon Diet.
