Known for its multitude of health benefits, fish has deservingly earned “miracle food” status. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, lower cholesterol, or even reduce arthritis pain, adding fish to your diet is key.
Not surprisingly, more and more doctors recommend the Mediterranean Diet for their patients. With a focus on fruits, vegetables, nuts, red wine, and fish (specifically blue fish, sardines, tuna, and anchovies), this eating plan proves to be one of the best heart-healthy diets available.
A Rich in Fish Diet Health Benefits
Don’t despair if you’re a meat and potatoes kind of eater—incorporating more fish into your daily lifestyle is actually easier and more fun than you might think. For example, grilled fish steaks served on toasted buns make a great alternative to traditional hamburgers. Instead of the standard fried chicken dish, try breaded oven-baked catfish. Or simply add some grilled salmon to your favorite salad. The options are endless.
While all fish can provide those wonderful omega-3 fatty acids, doctors do recommend some types of fish above others.
