When You Eat Salmon Every Day, This is What Happens To Your Body (2 of 4)

You may get a boost of energy

If you are always on the go, but don’t have the energy to sustain your lifestyle, salmon may help you. “You will feel more energetic due to the high B12 content,” says Kylie Ivanir, a registered dietician at the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University. “Half a filet can provide you with about 80 percent of the recommended daily intake of B12. Salmon is also high in the rest of the B vitamins, which provide your cells with energy.” Additionally, salmon can help you recover more quickly from injuries.

You could lose weight

If you are hoping to shed a few pounds, salmon can assist with this as well. “You will lose fat because salmon is a high protein/low-calorie food,” says Ivanir. “A serving size (approx three to four ounces) is only 200 calories and about 25 grams protein. Eating high protein foods increases your metabolic rate and keeps you full.”
