Anchovy and Spinach Pasta

Packed full of omega 3 rich anchovies and low glyceamic load lentil pasta, this dish will balance your blood sugars, release energy slowly and provide anti-inflammatory protection and benefits. Oily fish is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for our health. The greater the consumption of omega 3 the lower the inflammation in the body. Chronic exposure to inflammation has been found to lead to changes in neurotransmitters that lead to depressive symptoms and increasing omega 3 has been linked to reduced levels of anxiety.
