Eating fish you prevent cancer


fishA lot of us have heart, that fish is much better for health than red meat.
Researches think that fish is a great choice for healthy life that helps to prevent cancer, as it is naturally low in saturated fat. Fish makes a tasty and lean entrée with a healthy dose of B vitamins and minerals including potassium, magnesium and selenium. Simply baked or broiled with lemon and herbs, it's a welcome break from chicken and can help you and your family limit red meat.
Some fish are also high in omega 3 fats, which are heart-healthy and help reduce inflammation throughout the body (chronic inflammation has been linked to increased cancer risk). For instance, a recent study concluded that farmed tilapia has very high levels of omega-6 fats but low levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
The AICR public the list of useful seafood, which we can eat instead of meat.
For environmentally sound and low-contaminant choices high in omega-3 fats:
- Farmed rainbow trout
- Farmed striped bass
- Wild salmon (fresh, frozen or canned)
- Arctic char - Sablefish (black cod)
- Atlantic mackerel
- Barramundi
- Mussels
- Sardines
Eco-friendly and low saturated fat seafood:
- Pacific halibut
- Alaskan pollock
- Clams
- Oysters
- Bay scallops
- Catfish
- Tilapia or shrimp from U.S. farms
- Wild shrimp
Women of childbearing age and children up to age 12 should avoid swordfish, shark, tile fish and king mackerel, trying to consume up to 12 ounces per week (less for those under 6 years old) of a variety of other seafood.
Environmentalists have their own point of view to this situation.
But it should not deter you from including fish in the diet several times per week. If you dont do so, youll miss out on important health benefits.
