Fish is brain food!
Today we know that our grandmothers and their old wives’ tales about fish’s healthy attributes were right on target. Fish – especially fatty fish from cold marine waters – contains fats important to the development of the brain. Recent research found that women who consume the fats of these fish during pregnancy have babies who see better and who are better able to problem solve. In short, they are smarter!
Fish also help our hearts, give us better mental health and give us a stronger immune system to keep you from getting sick! Health Benefits for Kids: Omega-3s & more
Low in saturated fat, seafood provides: vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc; vitamins A, B and D and protein. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish that help the heart may enhance brain development and improve learning, behavior and vision.
A balanced diet is essential for proper nutrition. Balancing intake of omega-6 fatty acids with omega-3 fatty acids is no exception. Omega-6 fatty acids are very important for the body as well, but when consumed in high doses they can cause health problems such as inflammation of blood vessels. For a detailed nutritional analysis of the foods you eat, we recommend using the U.S. FDA's Nutrient Database or Nutrition Data.
Fish have varying levels of omega-3s. Fatty fish, like wild Alaskan salmon, contain the highest amount of omega-3s. Seaweed and eggs from chickens fed flaxseed, algae, and fresh green grass have high omega-3 content as well.
Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Association for Reproductive Health Professionals, in their joint report to the medical community, stress the importance of eating a variety of fish: “To reduce the risk of high exposure to pollutants from over-consumption of any one fish, parents should be advised to teach children from an early age to enjoy a variety of low mercury, low PCB fish and shellfish."
Warning! You can help!
Because of pollutants, some fish have a high concentration of mercury. Too much mercury is bad for your brain and nervous system. How do you avoid this? Large predatory fish and fish from local streams and rivers have the highest chance of being contaminated. So go for smaller ocean fish and eat a variety! You can help stop pollutants by supporting clean energy and finding ways to conserve energy in your house!
