Fatty fish are like the superheroes of the food world – they’re packed with nutrients and super good for you!  They’re famous for their omega-3s, especially EPA and DHA, which are essential for all sorts of things. Eating fatty fish regularly can really lower your risk of getting sick and comes with a bunch of other health perks.

Those omega-3s are amazing for your heart.  They can help lower your triglycerides, reduce inflammation, make your blood vessels work better, and even lower your blood pressure.  Eating fatty fish regularly has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, which is a pretty big deal.

And they’re brain food too!  Omega-3s are crucial for your brain, and DHA is actually a major building block of brain tissue.  It helps with memory, learning, and even your mood.  So, eating fatty fish might help keep your mind sharp as you get older and could even reduce the risk of things like Alzheimer’s.

On top of all that, fatty fish are a great source of protein, which is important for a healthy diet.  They’re also loaded with other good stuff like vitamins D and B12, iodine, and selenium.  Vitamin D is especially important for strong bones and a healthy immune system.  So, basically, fatty fish are a nutritional powerhouse!

There are two essential fats our bodies can’t manufacture: Omega-3 and Omega-6. We get these fats from the food we eat. Omega-3 fats have been shown to help prevent heart disease and stroke, may help control lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and may play protective roles in cancer and other conditions. Omega-3 fats are a key family of polyunsaturated fats.
