Get Your Omega-3s Here!

USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend two fish meals a week, which provide approximately 1705 mg per week of EPA and DHA, two omega-3 fatty acids recognized for their health benefits. Most of the time fatty fish are recommended for omega-3s. But did you know you can get the omega-3s you need by eating a low-fat fish like Wild Alaska Sole? Just two 5-ounce servings of Alaska Yellowfin Sole provide 1885 mg of EPA and DHA, exceeding the recommendation while remaining low in calories and total fat.

Important Nutrients Found in Wild Alaska Sole

Protein

High-quality protein assists in healing, bone health, and maintaining muscle mass.  Unlike plant-based proteins, the protein in Wild Alaska Sole is complete, so you don’t need to supplement to get the amount you need.  And Wild Alaska Sole provides high levels of protein without high amounts of calories and fat.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

You might be surprised by the levels of omega-3 fatty acids found in Wild Alaska Sole.  Generally, health professionals recommend that we eat fattier fish to provide high amounts of these long-chain fats that are important for many aspects of our health, including heart health, immune function, brain and eye health, gut health, reduced inflammation, and improved mood.  Recent scientific analysis has shown that Wild Alaska Sole has quite high levels of these important fats, so you can include this mild, low-fat fish in your diet twice a week and be well on your way to meeting the amounts recommended by the USDA.

Phosphorus

Wild Alaska Sole is high in this mineral which is essential for healthy bones and teeth.  It also plays an important role in how carbohydrates, fats, and protein are used in the body, and can help with kidney function, muscle contraction, normal heartbeat, and nerve signaling.

Selenium 

This minerial is also found in high amounts in Wild Alaska Sole.  Selenium protects bone and brain health, improves thyroid function and may reduce cancer risk.  Wild Alaska Sole is low in mercury, and the selenium it provides can also protect against mercury toxicity from other sources.

Low Calorie & Low Fat

Foods that are low in both calories and fat provide an excellent way to maintain a healthy weight, expecially when they provide additional important nutrients.  Wild Alaska Sole delivers all these benefits without weighing you down.
