The Benefits Of Consuming More Fish
Even This Bird Loves Fish
According to the latest study published in the journal Diabetes Care under the American Diabetes Association, people who are consuming one or more servings of fish even for a week can have a benefit of 25 percent less chances to incur diabetes later in life.
The study was conducted with over 20,000 men and women over a period of 5 years, in which participants were requested some information on their fish-eating routine. This is really a big encouragement for you and me to include fish in our diet.
In another study, it is proven that fish oil supplementation can be beneficial in controlling undue triglycerides in patients suffering from diabetes. Talking about other benefit, there is an apparent connection between eating fish or fish oil supplementation and the peril of coronary heart disease (CHD) and sudden cardiac death.
It is also interesting to note that women who include fish on their diet even once a week can enjoy a 40% lesser risk of CHD compared to women who are eating fish for less than once a month. For fish aficionado, it is good news because fish consumption for five times a week diminished CHD threat by 64% and general mortality by 52%. Very encouraging numbers, indeed!
The value of fish and fish oils can never be understated as studies after studies are showing their powerful power and benefits in dealing with common dreaded diseases affecting the modern society.
But be careful though because some studies also showed that swordfish, bluefish and king mackerel may contain elevated levels of mercury or methyl mercury. Thus, these fishes must not be consumed regularly.
At the same time, be anxious with shellfish as shellfish consumption even for once a week can contribute instead for the development of the diseases mentioned above. Researchers are suspecting that it may have something to do either with the way shellfish is cooked or the high cholesterol levels it contains.
Go on…eat your fish and be healthy!
