Fish For Eating, Fish For Diet, Fish For Health-Healthy Living Part 5

By Haiyan Lai-Heskin

Almost all heart researchers agree that when people who have defective fat metabolism eat a high-fat diet, heart disease often results. In addition to prolonging your life by controlling your weight, correct diet can save you from heart and blood vessel disease.

The low-fat diet will add immeasurably to your general health and well-being. Fish is natural low-fat and is a good quality protein, filled with vitamins like riboflavin, which aids the body in the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates and Vitamin D, which aids calcium absorption to help prevent osteoporosis.

Unlike meats, very little fats will be cooked out of the fish, so attempting to drain off fish fats in cooking is unnecessary.

Some fish like brook trout, porgy, cod, and croakers are somewhat higher in fat content, but are still quite low in fat content when compared with meats. But others like perch, haddock, flounder, sturgeon, smelts, scallops are especially low in fat.

It is often encouraged to eat shell-fish like lobster, shrimps and crabs, because they are outstandingly low in fat and cholesterol content. Clams are next in line; oysters are a bit higher in fat content, but are still low in comparison with beef, lamb, or veal.

Tuna is an excellent source of protein and much lower in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol than many other protein choices, it is considered a heart-healthy food. Wild Salmon is also much higher in heart and brain healthy Omega 3s over farmed salmon.

As fish is one of the most natural and healthy foods in the diet - indeed the Food Standards Agency recommends that we should all consume at least two portions a week for health, one of which should be oily such as salmon, herring or mackerel.

For young children and expectant mothers fish are safe to eat up to 3 times a week include smaller species such as: Atlantic and Tasmanian salmon barramundi blue-eye cod also known as blue-eye trevalla bream flathead jewfish hake hoki mackerel mullet ocean and rainbow trout redfish sardines snapper, and whiting.

Fish is truly the new 'meal in minutes', it is ridiculously quick and easy to prepare. Cook any large fish in salted water, adding one cupful of vinegar,and sliced onions, celery root, and parsley to season. fish also can be cooked under the grill, it just needs to be attended very closely and only takes a few minutes per side.

Fish is so delicate that it dries out quickly and is easy to overcook. It is done when the colour turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F internal temperature.

By adding fish to your diet 1-2 times a week not only reduces your risk of coronary heart disease and will help you manage your weight, but what does a healthy diet consist of. - 17269
