Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin). Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least two times per week as part of a healthy diet. Some people believe fish could be a replacement for red meat.

Research indicates these fatty acids can also promote greater blood flow to the brain, which is vital for delivering oxygen essential for brain function. And one study has suggested that omega-3s may have a role in healthy brain aging.

Seafood is a healthy option compared to meat, but if we follow doctors’ recommendations of omega-3 fatty acid intake, with the expected rise of the human population, we will very quickly deplete our seas.”

There are no researches about the difference in nutrients between real fish and fish created in a laboratory. There’s a plan to put more energy into improving sustainable farming and fishing practices to lessen environmental concerns and putting fish on everyone’s table.

 

A key to a healthy diet is to make sure that your diet is varied. The important issue is before eating the fish read the label carefully to make sure it is from a sustainable source and choose cold-water oily fish for the greatest health benefits as a result.
