Super-Fish You Should be Eating

The Fish Face-Off !!

Salmon and tuna aren't the only 'healthy fish in the sea'.  There are many salt and fresh water fish that provide respectable amounts of essential omega fatty acids that help the heart and brain function too.  Todays blog covers an education on 3 fish you can incorporate into your healthy diet.

Rainbow Trout:

With 20 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving, trout brings almost 1,000mg of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.  These fats protect against cognitive decline, according to research at Columbia University.

Pollock:

Pollock is tasty in fillet form (and healthier) than the traditional 'fish sticks' form that you would find.
One serving supplies 73% of your daily need for Selenium, a mineral that may lower your risk of developing type-2 diabetes by up to 24%, according to a study from the School of Public Health division at Harvard University.

Mackerel:

This fish is one of the best sources of vitamin D.  Geographically, individuals living in the Northern latitudes show a common deficiency in vitamin D.

Try 3 ounces of one as the protein source for your next lunch or dinner and tell me what you think of it.
Enjoy !!
