The fish that is praised as 'better than salmon' is very popular in Vietnam.
Adding this fish to your daily diet not only helps protect your heart but also brings many other health benefits, from supporting bones and joints to strengthening the immune system.
Sea bass, also known as barramundi, is one of the boneless, nutritious fish species that is highly appreciated by many nutritionists for its ability to support cardiovascular health protection.
With its superior benefits, sea bass has been compared to salmon - a fish known for its high omega-3 content - and is even considered "better than salmon" in many aspects.
In particular, this fish species is very popular in Vietnam, where conditions are ideal for farming and exploitation.

Sea bass is not only boneless and easy to prepare, but it is also a rich source of protein and contains many important nutrients for the body. In particular, the amount of healthy fats in sea bass, including omega-3 fatty acids, is very beneficial for cardiovascular health.
According to a study published inThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, fish rich in omega-3s like sea bass help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease thanks to their ability to regulate blood cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation.
This is especially important in the context of rising cardiovascular disease globally, including in Vietnam.
While salmon is still considered the “king” of omega-3s, sea bass is no slouch either. Some experts even say sea bass is a better choice than salmon because it’s moderate in fat and doesn’t feel too heavy.
Sea bass and heart health
Omega-3s in sea bass have been shown to be effective in protecting the heart. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels in the blood.

In addition, it also helps prevent the formation of blood clots, one of the main causes of strokes and heart attacks.
A study conducted at the University of Maryland Medical Center has shown that adding omega-3 from sea bass to your daily diet reduces the risk of death from heart disease by up to 30%.
Sea bass also contains significant amounts of vitamin D and selenium, two nutrients important for supporting heart health and improving immune system function.

Aside from protecting your heart, sea bass has many other health benefits. Sea bass is rich in protein, which helps build and maintain muscle, supports the immune system, and helps the body recover from injuries.
Additionally, sea bass is high in vitamin D and B12, two vitamins essential for bone and nervous system health.
A study fromHarvard School of Public HealthIt has been shown that adding sea bass to your diet may help reduce the risk of age-related diseases, including memory loss and arthritis.
