	from Fiona Haynes We eat because our stomachs growl, or the clock tells us it's time for lunch. We often eat in response to stress or just because food is "there." But beyond a basic desire to fill our stomachs, why do we need to eat? Also this week, learn about the health benefits of salmon, why your salad might not be as healthy as you think, plus much more.

Those are the easy answers, but do you know why you need to eat? If you are new to nutrition, here is a basic introduction to help you understand why your body needs good nutrition.

Healthy Salmon
There are so many wonderful things about salmon that it's hard to know where to start. It's a fish which even people who don't like fish can enjoy. It's firm enough to grill, can be cooked in many different ways, and doesn't dry out as easily as many other fish. It comes fresh, frozen, smoked, and canned. Wild salmon can be eaten without fear of excess contaminants or mercury, and it has a very high nutrient profile. What's not to like?

How Healthy is Your Salad?
Would it surprise you to learn that a hamburger and fries can be a healthier choice than a salad? All too often salads are loaded with fat. Even if you omit the meat and cheese, the croutons and dressing are big fat traps. Find out which types of salad should raise alarm bells, and how you can make healthy, flavorful and satisfying low fat salads instead.
