The harmful effects of saturated fats in meat have been known for a long time: their excess raises the levels of so-called bad cholesterol, contributes to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, and even cancers, especially of the large intestine. Fats in fish, namely omega-3 and omega-6, belong to the group of essential unsaturated fatty acids that the body is unable to produce.

Almost everyone knows that a properly balanced diet based on healthy products can protect against many diseases. Fish reduce the risk of many diseases, including cancer. A study in Italy found that people who regularly ate fish had a much lower risk of developing cancers (especially of the digestive tract, spleen and ovaries).

8. Myth 2: all fish have the same nutrient content

In addition to the fact that not all fish are healthy, it is also important that fish are unequal. The main breakdown takes into account the fat content: lean fish are ideal for people on a reduced and light-fat diet, the most popular of which are tuna, strawberries, mint or sole; fatty fish, the healthiest, with the highest content of unhealthy unsaturated fatty acids (called omega-3), the most important of which include: iodine, omega-3s, macronutrients, sputum, and sputum.

9. Fact number three: frozen fish do not lose their nutritional value

There is a belief that frozen fish are of inferior quality because they lose their most valuable ingredients under the influence of low temperatures. Fortunately, this is not true and the potential loss of unhealthy ingredients is minimal. There are two completely different issues with frozenfish. One is the composition of the frozen product and the content of the so-called glaze. Unfortunately, sometimes it can happen that 50% of the product is not fish, but glaze itself.

10. Myth 3: The way the fish is prepared is irrelevant

Unfortunately, this method of preparation delivers harmful substances and at the same time steals those that are important and turns the fish into a real calorie bomb. The healthiest way is to prepare the fish in a stew or in an oven. It is also worth remembering that fish can be served in other forms, such as sandwich paste.
