Watch as Nutritionist Kate Geagan discusses how often you should include fish in your diet to get the most health benefit, as well as the types of fish that are most nutrient rich.
If there's one thing that you could do to really boost your health as well as that of your family it would be to add fish twice a week to your plate. The good news is you don't have to go more than that, but twice a week is where we see huge benefits in slashing your rate of heart disease, even fighting dementia down the road, and then the short term feels omega 3 fat to help your skin look gorgeous.
So omega three fats, that's the kind of fish that you want to look for should be rich in omega 3 fats. Tuna, Salmon, barramundi and what else? Sardines, mackerels, these are some of the richest omega 3 fat foods on the planet, and we see that that protein package that fish uniquely offers,that combo of omega three fat, vitamin D, selenium and protein really is a super food for super health.
