Omega 3’s for Decreasing Inflammation

Shared by Dr. Byron Morgan

This Salmon and Lentil Power Bowl is a nutrient-dense meal combining omega-3-rich salmon with the plant-based protein and fiber of lentils. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, while lentils provide a slow-digesting carbohydrate source that supports stable blood sugar and digestive health.
