Nutrients in Fish


The reason I am trying to share more tips about seafood is because we may consume much meat during Christmas and year end gathering and is time to control our meat intake. As you all know, fish is a source of protein. Most kind of fish are lower in fat than others protein sources such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb and even poultry. The cholesterol content of fish is lower than meat I mentioned too. Deep sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring are high in type of poly saturated fat (PUFA) called omega-3 fatty acids. The consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has been reported correlated to the decrease of risk of heart disease.



鱼是很好的蛋白质来源。大多数的鱼含有的脂肪是低过其他动物如牛,猪,羊,甚至家禽等。同样的,它的胆固醇含量也比其他肉类低。深海鱼如三文鱼,鲭,沙丁鱼和鲱是含有大量的多元不饱和脂肪叫Omega-3。这种好的脂肪是可以帮助减低心脏病等的风险。


Sounds healthier right? I strongly encourage people tried more fishes as main meal rather than meat every week.
