The greatest benefit of these types of fish is they are all good sources of "marine" omega 3 fatty acids, EPA, DHA  which protect the body against heart disease.  These essential faty acids are not produced by our bodies very well but they are critical for our development and functioning.  It is therefore beneficial for our diets to include sources of omega 3 fatty acids

Benefits of Wild Salmon over Farmed Salmon:

• Wild salmon supplies high quality protein.  It is low in saturated fat, rich in polyunsaturated fats and a good source of iron, zinc and calcium.

• Wild salmon is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids.  They are important for cell function.  There is strong evidence that omega 3 fatty acids can help lower rates of heart diseases, reduce hypertension, relieve some artritis symptom and prevent cancer.

• Wild salmon provides a healthier ratio of omeaga 3 to omega 6 fatty acids than farmed salmon because the diet of farmed salmon includes oils already common in many processed foods such as coorn, canola and soy.
  

Nutritional Supplements Become Important to Baby Boomers
Author: Irene Mori

As the oldest of the baby boomers have now passed the once normal retirement age of sixty-five, the first group of this huge segment of the population have entered the designation of senior citizens. Many are not leaving work just yet, however. The bad economy, recession, and extended life spans have caused many baby boomers and those even older to continue to keep their spots on the work force of the nation or to even go out and find a minimal job after having once retired. Continuing to work means having to maintain good health and activity which makes a larger market for nutritional supplements. The health and wellness industry is growing. Earning money at home and home based businesses are expanding in this area.

The middle and younger baby boomers have long been interested in health and nutrition. Fitness centers are extremely popular as people try to stay healthy. The value of taking vitamins has been touted for decades, and today nutritional supplements come in many different forms. Such products have become an important part of the regiment for much of the population as they realize that the supplements may be beneficial in their quest and desire for longevity.

Baby boomers, even as infants, have always had a large influence on buying habits and have made some companies extremely successful. Now it is the turn of the nutritional supplement businesses to cash in on the baby boomers. With many of these products available in the market place, there is huge competition for sales. While many are successfully sold in retail outlets, it will be difficult for new and smaller companies to make it in stores. Therefore, many nutritional supplements are sold through network marketing. The owners of these companies realize that they are able to control a significant market share by signing up distributors who become their customers who are committed to the product largely because of the promise of substantial earnings which may be possible.

Baby boomers are helping make this a huge market, and they don't mind spending money for quality products. Many of the network marketing companies which sell nutritional supplements are becoming wildly successful as are some of their distributors.
