Benefits
Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fats which help to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and assist with brain health. It is a great source of protein as well as vitamin D, B12, selenium and iodine.
The fibre in spinach acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which can contribute to a balanced gut microbiome and reduce bloating over time.
Lemons are a great source of vitamin C plus potassium, magnesium, copper and a range of B vitamins.
