Eating fish is good for your health.

Foods low in fat and rich in omega-3 acids

Everyone knows that eating a lot of fatty foods such as animal fat is not good for health. Fish contains very little of this type of fat, but at the same time contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which are especially necessary for the development of the human brain, playing an important role in transmitting signals between cells. The main ingredient in omega-3 is DHA, which is also an important ingredient that promotes the formation of gray matter in the brain and helps children develop intelligence. Omega-3 acid is found in abundance in fish and some other seafood such as shrimp, clams...

Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals

Animal meats such as pork, beef... contain a lot of protein, but if you eat too much, it is not good for your health, can cause excess protein, obesity, diabetes... On the contrary, you can eat fish comfortably without worrying about anything. Fish protein is very easy to absorb, good for the digestive system and cardiovascular system. Fish also contains many essential vitamins such as vitamin A, D, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and iodine... Especially calcium contained in some types of fish such as salmon also contributes to strong bones.

Fish oil is good for children's development.

DHA in fish oil is the cause of this beneficial effect. DHA helps newborns develop intelligence and bright eyes, while also completing the process of brain function development. Pregnant women who absorb a lot of omega-3 acid in marine fish will give birth to healthy, much smarter children than normal. That is the result of research that scientists from many countries around the world have proven.

Eating a lot of fish helps reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.

According to research results from Harvard University - USA, eating fish regularly every week will help provide the necessary amount of omega - 3 to prevent the risk of heart disease. In addition, omega - 3 also helps reduce triglyceride levels in the blood and reduce blood clotting leading to blood vessel blockage.

Therefore, fish is a very good food, especially for the elderly and children. Because EPA is found in unsaturated fatty acids (abundant in blue-backed fish) can prevent atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. DHA is also found in unsaturated fatty acids in fish and plays an important role in the growth of brain cells and the nervous system. Lack of this substance will cause memory loss and lower intelligence. Children need DHA to develop brain cells. The elderly need DHA to slow down brain aging and avoid confusion in old age.

In fish, DHA content is more concentrated in the fish head. Therefore, you should not fry fish, especially at high temperatures, which will cause the DHA to decompose. Instead, you should eat boiled or cooked fish to take advantage of the DHA content in the fish head.
