Eat Fish For Health

While many people enjoy eating fish and other seafood the
benefits of just how good it is for you wasn't known until
recent years. Since then fish has seen a boost in sales and
more and more people are enjoying the benefits of this
relatively inexpensive food. Fish can be prepared in so many
different ways and can suit even the fussiest person's
palette.
Fish is lower in calories than the same portion size of
beef, and it's very high in protein. Those practicing
healthy eating are working toward reducing their calories
and maintaining nutritional values. Fish is considered a
perfect food with its high protein, and low calorie ratio.
Few foods can make that claim. Remember not to slather
tartar sauce or other high calorie and fat condiments onto
your fish. Instead, use herbs and healthy marinades.
Not only are fish high in protein, but they are also high in
potassium, B-complex vitamins, selenium, iron, and many
other trace minerals. Certain species of fatty fish also
contain vitamin A and D. Fish is also very low in sodium,
making it a very healthy choice. You can see why more and
more doctors and nutritionists are recommending that people
start eating more fish. Just try to stay away from the
breaded, over-processed fish sticks you see in the freezer
section of your local grocery store.
With all these benefits, you may be wondering if fish is
high in cholesterol, as many other types of meat are. Most
fish are relatively low in cholesterol and saturated fats,
which makes it much healthier than beef. Some studies have
recently shown that certain types of fish can actually help
to lower cholesterol.
Some types of fish, such as salmon and trout are high in
omega-3 fatty acids. This is typically what is referred to
when people talk about good fats. Omega-3 is also found in
flax seed oil and many people take supplements to ensure
they are getting enough of this fatty acid. Why not up your
intake of these types of fish each week, it's a much more
enjoyable way to get your omega-3s.
Omega-3 benefits us in a number of ways. Among them are
lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and
helping prevent hardening of the arteries, arthritis, and
sometimes hair loss. More studies are under way for
determining more ways in which the omega-3s improve our
health. As you can see, a steady diet of fish is an
excellent choice.
The other good news about fish is that it's quite
inexpensive. Wild salmon and halibut may cost a bit more,
but in general fish is easy on the food budget. You can
create all kinds of tasty meals with fish, and your
children will love many of them.
Fish has become an ideal choice of people who want to eat a
healthy diet. But be aware when you add butter or creamy
sauces as they can drastically increase the calories in your
diet. Fish is very easy to prepare and many delicious
recipes can be prepared with fish for taste and health.
