The safest and most nutritious fish are not the ones you are used to hearing about.
According to experts, the benefits of tuna and salmon are overrated.
Omega-3 fatty acids help improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of stroke.
The richest in these nutrients are small fish and shellfish. For example, mussels, sardines, herring, mackerel, anchovies, scallops, oysters.
In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, these seafood contain iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.
Since you eat bones and skin with small fish, you also get calcium and vitamin D.
Vitamin D and iron deficiencies cause not only poor physical health, but also affect mood, energy levels and sleep.
In addition, small seafood tends to have a lower mercury content than larger fish.
