3 good reasons to eat fish
-
Just like consuming a lot of fruit and vegetables, eating fish is also part of a healthy diet. Because if you eat enough (oily) fish, you will stay healthy longer. But do you actually know why? These are three good reasons to eat fish.
1. Fish is brain food
-
Our brains are largely made up of fat, the main building blocks of which are the omega-3 fish fatty acids EPA and DHA. Many scientists have investigated the effect of these fish fatty acids on brain functions. For example, the fish fatty acids appear to be essential for the construction of the brains in babies in the womb and for the development of the brains of young children. Fish fatty acids also have a function in old age. People who eat a lot of fish have a longer memory. An additional advantage: the fish fatty acids are also good for heart and blood vessels. The healthy omega-3 fish fatty acids are mainly found in oily fish. Eel, herring, salmon, sardines and mackerel are high in omega-3 fish fatty acids.
2. Fish contains vitamins
-
There are not many foods that contain vitamin D, but oily fish do. Of all animal products - because they contain vitamin D - fatty fish contains the most. With 100 grams of tilapia, sardines or canned salmon, you already have your daily dose of vitamin D. Your body needs it to keep your bones and teeth strong, for your resistance and for the functioning of your muscles.

3. Fish is nice to your thyroid
-
Sea fish naturally contains iodine. And that too is a nutrient that is only found in our diet to a very limited extent. For example, a piece of cod of 100 grams contains all the iodine you need in a day. Furthermore, there is only iodine in seaweed and bakers use iodized salt for baking bread. You can also buy iodized salt (JOZO) for use in your own kitchen. That is advisable, because your body needs iodine for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland
For the bad fish eaters
-
The health benefits of fish are not to be missed. If you eat little or no fish, make sure that you get the iodine through iodized salt, your vitamin D through sunlight on your skin. Or take a vitamin D supplement if you need extra vitamin D. (This way you notice if you have a shortage). For the omega-3, take fish oil capsules or foods fortified with fish fatty acids. Make sure that it really contains fish fatty acids. Only omega 3 on the packaging does not say everything. It must help that it contains EPA and DHA. Because those are the real fish fatty acids. Sometimes it also contains the omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). This is only converted to a very limited extent in the body into the necessary fish fatty acids. And you don't need omega 6 and 9 in a supplement at all.
