5 Ingredient Italian Inspired Salmon
Jun 02, 2022
5 INGREDIENT ITALIAN INSPIRED SALMON on the fertility food menu for this week! A great recipe with quality salmon or ocean trout fillets and helping to meet protein demands (1.5-2.0g per kg body weight) during pregnancy. Not to mention a solid intake of essential fatty acids, eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Essential meaning that they must be acquired from the diet as our bodies cannot synthesise them.
Essential fatty acids play a role during pregnancy for brain development of baby, and are diverted to the foetus as a priority. As a result some mothers can experience poor cognition, brain function, and in some cases depressive symptoms if dietary and supplementary intake is insufficient.
Our recommendation - focus on plenty of omega 3 rich foods, including recipes like these, and supplement with high quality fish or algae oil.
