A curry your taste buds will love. Salmon is not only a great source of omega 3 fat needed for optimal brain and heart health it also boasts many other nutrients. A highlight is that salmon is a source of selenium which acts as an antioxidant. Selenium helps decrease your risk of heart disease by lowering inflammatory markers in your body which promote atherosclerosis which can lead to a heart attack. Selenium also helps to increase a powerful antioxidant called glutathione peroxidase. This antioxidant helps protect your heart and is immune enhancing.
Further optimising your immune function is the onion with its antioxidant called quercetin. The green curry paste with its green chillies adds additional antioxidants which help to fight off free radicals which can cause damage and disease to the cells of your body. Chilis also have anti-microbial properties and assist your body with its natural detoxification processes. Lime adds a refreshingly tang and also supports your immunity as a source of vitamin C.
Green beans and eggplant add gut-healthy fibre which also helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer. Green beans add folate needed for DNA synthesis and repair.
