Elderly Care La Costa CA

Getting your aging loved ones the nutrition they need to stay strong, healthy, and active is one of the most important goals of your elderly care plan. Sometimes sourcing some of nutrients, however, can be a challenge. Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely important to brain health and also contribute to the health of the cardiovascular system. One of the best sources for this amino acid is salmon. A rich, fatty fish, salmon is a fantastic choice for keeping your aging loved ones’ body strong and healthy.

While there are many ways to enjoy salmon, one of the most popular is smoked salmon. This brunch staple is delicious served on sandwiches, with bagels and cream cheese, or chopped up in salads. Smoking the salmon also helps preserve it, which is great when you can find a good deal on the fish.

What You Will Need

• 1 cup of kosher salt
• 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of crushed black peppercorns
