Fish The Healthy Alternative

Are you a meat eating carnivore who loves to eat a thick juicy steak or a big thick meaty hamburger on a sesame seed bun?

If you are a red meat eater you may want to consider cutting back on eating so much red meat and consider eating fish two or three times a week.

Fish with fins and scales are high in quality protein, a good source of essential nutrients, and are generally safer to eat than fish without fins and scales.

Fish such as Red Snapper, Sole, Orange Roughy, Salmon, Trout, Halibut, Grouper and Mahi-Mahi are almost always pesticide free.

Those fish that are raised in fish farms are generally safer to eat considering that they were raised where the standard of water was maintained at a high standard of quality.

Fish with fins and scales have oils that help prevent heart attacks, coronary artery disease, and atherosclerosis.

Fish with fins and scales has also been proven to lower triglyceride levels, help thin the blood, and prevent blood clots.

Fish with fins and scales and the oils they produce within their bodies also helps decrease inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Remember when cooking fish not to fry the fish because frying the fish cancels all the health benefits within the fish.

Always remember to bake, broil, or grill fish to get all the healthy benefits of oils, protein and nutrients.
