As you know, the brilliant, vibrant kaleidoscope of colors found in fruits, vegetables, beans, and legumes, as well as in nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, and seafood such as wild salmon signifies the presence of antioxidants in foods, making these food an essential part of the Perricone lifestyle.  The carotenoid family of antioxidants offers very special and targeted properties for cellular rejuvenation for many reasons, not the least of which is their role in cellular growth and repair.

I am one of wild salmon’s most vocal and enthusiastic proponents.  There are many reasons for this, including the outstanding quality of its protein, so critical to cellular repair; its rich component of anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids, essential for heart, skin and brain health; and the presence of high levels of the carotenoid astaxanthin, which has a myriad of benefits, including superior anti0inflammatory properties.   Bake it, grill it, poach it, but most importantly, just make sure you incorporate it into your diet.  The health benefits are endless.

How do you incorporate wild salmon into your diet?
