Eating this seafood chowder with salmon and prawns is a great way to support joint and bone health as the seafood contains omega 3 fatty acids which are the metabolic building blocks for a group of very powerful anti-inflammatory agents that can ‘turn off’ inflammatory reactions. Shallots are members of the allium family, which contain high levels of sulphur-based compounds which are important in the production of collagen and glucosamine, essential for healthy joints.
