We are happy to share this healthy grilled salmon recipe. Specially prepared for individuals with high blood pressure it contains the least amount of sodium and includes blood pressure-friendly ingredients including salmon, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, ginger, and garlic.
Salmon is a blessing for high blood pressure patients. It’s a great source of healthy fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Most importantly, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids have a direct influence on blood pressure. It immensely helps your body to lower your blood pressure level. It also reduces inflammation, develops the functions of the blood cells, and improves cardiovascular health. Our body cannot create omega-3 fatty acids on its own. That’s why we must provide this essential nutrient through our diet. And salmon is a tasty option for that. The protein content of salmon is very impressive. A single serving of salmon can provide 22-26 grams of protein. This kind of healthy protein helps you to age slowly, develops bone health, boosts cell healing after an injury, and improves weight loss.
Salmon contains a great mineral named selenium. It is a trace mineral, which means your body needs a very little amount of the nutrient. But the nutrient is essential for the body. Selenium advances thyroid functions, assists with bone health and is good for the anti-aging process.
This grilled salmon recipe has pink salt, lemon, honey, ginger, and garlic as flavour enhancers. If you cannot dismiss salt entirely from your diet, you should opt for pink salt as the safer option. Ginger and garlic both are well-known for their blood pressure-reducing capabilities. Lemon juice lowers bad cholesterol levels in the blood. It also makes the blood vessels flexible and smooth, thus lowering blood pressure. Honey is also very good for our health. It lowers blood pressure, regulates blood fat levels, boosts weight loss, and controls the demise of healthy cells.
