Notes

Every WIC food has a specific nutrition role to fill. Why canned fish? They provide a great source of:
  • Protein, which provides energy and helps your body build bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, blood, enzymes and hormones.
  • Calcium (from bone-in salmon/sardines), which helps your body build and maintain strong bones
  • Omega 3 fatty acids, (from canned salmon), which help prevent heart disease and may help improve your mood.
