Fish is a high quality, low-fat protein source filled with omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains essential vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin) and is rich in calcium and phosphorus. Fish is also a great source of minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and iodine.
We do need to be careful, however, to source the best quality fish we can and be sure to understand that there are some ocean contaminants we need to be careful of.
According to Harvard School of Health, ways to protect us from contaminants in fish are to eliminate shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish (sometimes called golden bass or golden snapper) from your diet and instead eat safer fish such as shrimp, canned light tuna (not albacore white tuna), salmon, pollock, and catfish which are lower in mercury. They also recommend to check contamination advisories and take special precautions for pregnant or nursing mothers and small children.
All of these warnings aside, it is important to note that omega-3 fatty acid deficiency is one of the top 10 causes of death in the USA, killing approximately 96,000 people each year. How crazy when this is completely preventable!
Be sure to regularly eat fish with this healthy fish recipe and take high quality Omega-3 supplements!
