Can a toastie be good for you?

This toastie is sure to satisfy your hunger! Safcol Salmon in Springwater is a good source of protein as well as omega 3 fat which also helps keep you fuller for longer. Omega 3 fat is a polyunsaturated fat which will help to keep your cholesterol levels in healthy ranges as well as your heart and brain happy.
The sourdough bread is a form of whole-grain which adds more nutrients than the refined types which lack or have minimal amounts of nutrients compared to whole-grain varieties. This includes fibre, B vitamins, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, zinc and iron.
Cheese adds delicious flavour but is also an important source of calcium which is vital for healthy bones and teeth as well as to allow your muscles to contract normally.
Cheese, like salmon, is a good source of iodine which is important to keep your thyroid functioning for a normal metabolism. It also gives your body vitamin A for immune support and healthy eyes. The cheese and fish also add vitamin B12 to help your body make red blood cells and for central nervous system function. Finally, riboflavin for energy production, phosphorus for strong bones and teeth and zinc which supports your immunity.
Who would have thought a simple toastie could be so nutritious for your body?
