There is so much food we associate with Christmas, from mince pies to pigs-in-blanket, but sometimes indulging in too many seasonal treats can cause your arthritis to flare up, which might put a kink in your plans over the holidays. We could also use back these dishes to spice up Valentine's Day.
That’s why we’ve come up with this tasty salmon dish. It’s a nice alternative to some of the Christmas classics and it’s full of nutritious ingredients. Oily fish like salmon contain protein and fatty acids that are great for your joints and help to reduce inflammation. The citrus and garlic in the sauce will also be great for your immune system to keep the cold away during the winter months.
My London Nutritionist Kamilla Schaffner, an expert in tailoring diets to specific needs of her patients including those who need to focus on an anti-inflammatory regime, says of this recipe, “Inclusion of protein is always a good idea in inflammatory conditions because in small amounts protein provides a reparative function to the sites that need most repair. Without a certain amount of quality protein, it is very difficult for the body to repair itself. Salmon, of course, is a king of Omega-3 essential fatty acids and protein that are vital for anti-inflammatory diets.”
