Fish is a great source of protein and
omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are considered good fats that
are essential nutrients for all humans. These fatty acids help maintain
the human cardiovascular system by regulating blood clotting and the
constriction of blood vessels. Additionally, they are essential for
prenatal as well as postnatal neurological development, help to reduce
the inflammation of tissue, alleviate the symptoms caused by rheumatoid
arthritis well as play a role in reducing cardiac arrhythmia.
These fatty acids are often found in tilapia(sato), sardines(Dagaa),and more. Many
people that don’t consume fish on a regular basis tend to get their
omega 3 fatty acids from supplements. While this is a great idea, it is
also helpful to make fish a regular part of your diet.
While doctors recommend eating fish at
least twice a week, some people might shy away from eating an abundance
of fish, as they have heard it can be harmful. The harm with fish comes
into play when the fish that is being consumed contains large amounts of
mercury and other environmental contaminants. The best way to avoid
these kinds of contaminants in fish is to maintain a steady diet of fish
caught in places where the water is regulated. Additionally, it doesn’t hurt to regulate your fish
intake.
Most people avoid eating fish for every
single meal and instead branch out to other meats and vegetables. Life
is all about moderation and with fish, it is no different. Eating fish
about 2 – 4 times a week is generally the sweet spot for fish. So, as
you read through our great fish recipes, think about what you will eat
this week and be sure to try out one of these seven fish recipes and see
which works best for you.
