Why We Love Salmon

5/15/2020

Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods out there. It’s able to help fight diseases, packed with vitamins, and can improve your health while also being delicious and versatile. Here are some more reasons we love salmon:

• Lean Protein - A 3oz serving gets you 22g of protein for only 155 calories and only 1g of saturated fat.

• B-Vitamins - Salmon is a great source of almost every B-vitamin that exists. These help many crucial processes such as turning food into energy and building DNA.

• Anti-Inflammatory - Salmon has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which is believed to be the root cause of several diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

• Brain Health - The combo of Omega-3s, B12, choline, and selenium all work to improve brain function and neurological health.

• Heart Health - Polyunsaturated fats in salmon help improve cholesterol levels and potassium helps to regulate blood pressure.

• Skin Health - The pink color of salmon comes from a powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin that has been shown to repair skin from UV damage and help keep it hydrated and flexible.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
