The Power of Fish

Would you believe that fish is a great nutrient to help your body after a strenuous workout? I didn’t, but I have been converted!

Seafood has long been recognised as the best dietary source of Omega-3.  You’ll have heard a lot about Omega-3. It’s on food packaging, it’s in advertisements and it’s in the papers.  But what is it? Why do we need it? And where can it be found?

Health benefits of Omega-3include: significantly reduced chances of cancer and heart disease.  Boosts to sporting performance and concentration.  Association with brain development, joint function and healthy skin.

Some examples of fish species for Omega-3:

Lemon sole and Monkfish 140 mg per portion.  King scallops 207mg  Tuna 223mg per portion, also Lobster, Halibut, Sea Bass, Mussels, Cockles, Salmon, Mackerel, and top of the pile – its Herring, and don’t forget with over  100 species of fish to choose from threes no excuse for sticking to the same old fish.  Try a new one.

Now that’s what I call Omega-3. It also comes in capsules, but I recommend the real thing from my favourite Fishmongers, Francis Greene Fishmongers Swansea Market

Since I started eating the fish my joint pain has definitely eased and I believe in real food not supplements or tablets.
