I have been trying to eat more fish but I admit I am getting tired of eating milkfish all the time. A friend advised me that eating salmon often is bad too because of its mercury content but I have not verified this. I can still eat this though, from time to time. I just need to stop when I get pregnant, which is far from happening.
Salmon is rich in Omega-3, which has several health benefits to its credit. Its Omega-3 content, along with the niacin and vitamin 12, is extremely beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Omega-3 has a defensive action against colon, prostate and breast cancer.
The omega-3 in salmon helps in reducing depression and thus, keeps a person in good mood.
Omega-3 improves the electrical properties of cells present in heart and is also defensive against the deadly abnormal heart rhythms.
The omega-3 present in salmon prevents obesity and increases the response towards insulin. It is also beneficial in reducing the formation of cytokines, which causes the inflammatory response lined with atherosclerosis.
Omega-3 helps in lowering the level of triglycerides, which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases in case of its high accumulation.
The omega-3 present in salmon also comes into limelight for the protection it provides from both early and late age-related muscular degeneration.
