Tips for Changing Your Diet


Salmon

Protein

Eat your protein first at each meal and snack, because it has no effect on blood sugar. We want to keep our blood sugar level, and we don’t want spikes in blood sugar to occur because this creates an inflammatory state in the body. This is why you don’t want to eat your fruits or other carbohydrates first.

Remember this key fact: we cannot store protein in our bodies. If you want to keep your face and body firm, toned, lithe and supple, you need to provide it with a fresh supply of high quality protein every day.

The best protein sources are cold-water fish such as salmon and halibut. What makes fish stand out from other excellent protein sources is its type of fat and fatty acid content, both of which have powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
