The benefits of eating fish cannot be exhausted. Fish is a nutritious food that can be eaten in large quantities. It helps in the growth of the body and brain. There are two types of fats in our food. One is saturated fat, the other is unsaturated fat.


Fish is a good source of unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. One of the most important components of omega fatty acids is Docosahexaenoic acid or DHA. DHA is an element that keeps the brain functioning active and normal.


Akhtarun Nahar Alo, Chief Nutrition Officer of BIRDEM, has given advice on the nutritional value and beneficial components of fish.


DHA is closely related to the development of the child's intelligence and memory, etc. It is also necessary for eyesight. A study shows that all mothers who regularly ate fish during pregnancy or before, have high levels of DHA in their milk. On the other hand, mothers who did not eat fish at all, have low levels of DHA in their milk.


After birth, the baby receives DHA from the mother's milk. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil prevent blood cholesterol from clotting in the blood vessels. It has been found that fish oil is very good for heart patients. In addition, inflammatory problems such as skin diseases, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., have excellent results. A study by Danish scientists shows that residents of Greenland who regularly consume fish oil; Their risk of heart disease and stroke is lower. Dutch scientists show that those who eat at least 25 grams of fish every day are more likely to suffer from heart disease than those who do not eat fish at all. Fish oil prevents the formation of fatty deposits in the arteries.


Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that the chemical substance called prostaglandin in fish oil prevents the spread of cancer. Western foods contain very little omega-3 fatty acids.


Meanwhile, due to the influence of the West, the tendency to eat fish is gradually decreasing in our country. Today's teenagers will become mothers of children in the future. However, they are leaning towards broiler chickens instead of fish. Children born in the future will have a deficiency of DHA in their bodies. As a result, they will fall behind in their studies and all activities.


Since DHA omega-3 fatty acid plays an important role in improving eyesight, increasing brain power, increasing learning ability, increasing intelligence, and maintaining a healthy nervous system, as well as preventing heart disease, fish should definitely be included in your daily diet.
