This soothing and zesty green curry salmon reels in waves of anti-cancer health benefits! Salmon provides selenium [1], omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins. Ginger [2] can reduce inflammation and nausea while increasing serotonin and dopamine levels (your happiness hormones). The Ginger in this green curry salmon also contains a phytonutrient called 6-shogaol that has the ability to specifically target cancer stem cells.
However, Do NOT just buy any salmon! Salmon at some grocery stores can be filled with food dyes, mercury, and all sorts of other nasty toxins! I buy my fish and meat from ButcherBox [3] as they provide safe, wild-caught seafood and grass-fed organic meat. Check out their latest deal today!
