Healthy eating and practicing proper nutrition are important at any age, but it becomes more so as we get older. As we age, our bodies don\u2019t always absorb nutrients as well as they once did. Therefore, it\u2019s important to pay special attention to what we eat and prioritize nutrient-dense foods. While lean meats are great sources of protein, which help our bodies function properly, chicken and fish have less saturated fat than most red meat. Fish is an important part of a heart-healthy diet and can help reduce the risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrest, and the most common type of stroke.<\/p>\n

According to the Food and Drug Administration<\/a>, the 2015-2020 dietary guidelines for Americans recommends eating at least eight ounces of seafood per week. Fish contain high amounts of protein, healthy omega-3 fats, vitamins B-12 and D, and minerals such as iron, selenium, zinc, and iodine. Experts also agree that consuming fish can promote heart and brain health.<\/p>\n

Fish Help You Have a Healthy Heart<\/strong>
\nFish contain omega-3 fatty acids<\/a> that act as an energy source and help keep the lungs, blood vessels, and immune system functioning properly. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in every kind of fish but are especially high in salmon, trout, sardines, herring, mackerel, tuna, and oysters. These omega-3 fatty acids aid in healthy brain function, reduce inflammation and arthritis, and can even reduce the risk of depression, ADHD, Alzheimer\u2019s and other types of dementia, and diabetes. Some research also suggests that omega-3s have a positive effect on gradual memory loss commonly associated with aging.<\/p>\n

Health Benefits of Eating Fish<\/strong>
\nIn addition to protecting the heart and brain, eating fish regularly has been linked to other health benefits. Fish can impact many functions of the body, including your liver, quality of sleep, and weight management. Some of the main benefits of eating fish include:
\nLowers risk of heart disease<\/strong>
\nAccording to some studies<\/a>, consuming fish has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids work to prevent inflammation, which helps protect the heart and decrease the risk of other chronic diseases.
\nReduces risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/strong>
\nFish consumption can increase gray brain matter, which prevents brain deterioration and shrinkage, both of which can cause a decline in brain function. A study<\/a> conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that people who ate baked or broiled fish once per week had a lower risk of developing either Alzheimer\u2019s disease or mild cognitive impairment.
\nLowers symptoms of depression<\/strong>
\nResearchers believe that omega-3 fatty acids are linked to the functioning of serotonin in the brain, which plays an important role in mood regulation. Wild-caught fish such as salmon and sardines are believed to help fight depression and manage its symptoms.
\nImproves vision and eye health<\/strong>
\nBoth the eyes and brain rely on heavy amounts of omega-3 fatty acids to maintain their health and function. Consuming fish, which is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, can help improve vision and maintain eye health.
\nImproves quality of sleep<\/strong>
\nResearch suggests that consuming omega-3 fatty acids consistently can have a positive impact on sleep quality. Regularly consuming fish can help you fall asleep more quickly and improve your overall function during waking hours. According to Psychology Today<\/a>, DHA, a type of omega-3 fat, stimulates melatonin, which is a key hormone that facilitates sleep.
\nAlleviates arthritis<\/strong>
\nMany older adults suffer from arthritis or the swelling and inflammation of one or more of their joints. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation in the body and can help lessen the symptoms of various types of arthritis.
\nLowers blood pressure<\/strong>
\nAccording to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, inflammation in the body can damage blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Omega-3 fatty acids can help benefit heart health by decreasing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of blood clotting, and reducing irregular heartbeats. Researchers suggest consuming two servings per week of fish to reduce the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n

Best Types of Fish to Eat<\/strong>
\nAccording to Healthline Magazine<\/a>, some fish contain contaminants such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls, which can negatively impact our health. However, the following fish are eco-friendly and have lower rates of mercury and contaminants:<\/p>\n

Alaskan salmon.<\/strong> Both farmed and wild salmon contain omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals. While there\u2019s a debate over which one is better, both can provide the same health benefits.<\/p>\n

Cod.<\/strong> This white fish option contains phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B-12, and nearly 20 grams of protein in a three-ounce portion.<\/p>\n

Mackerel.<\/strong> This oily fish is packed with healthy fats which can improve endurance, aid in exercise recovery, and also improve skin health.<\/p>\n

Sardines.<\/strong> Sardines are an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. In addition, sardines are also packed with protein, which is essential for building healthy bones and maintaining muscle mass.<\/p>\n

Tuna.<\/strong> Tuna is rich in potassium, which can help lower blood pressure. In addition, the omega-3s present in tuna can help the risk of stroke and heart attack, while also improving the immune system.<\/p>\n

      Ways to Incorporate Fish into Your Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re not used to consuming fish as a part of your regular diet, incorporating it into your weekly routine might seem daunting. However, there are a few quick and easy ways to add fish into your routine without having to spend much time preparing it.<\/p>\n

      Many dietitians suggest substituting tuna for chicken when preparing recipes such as chicken salad or chicken casseroles. Adding fish to your breakfast can be as simple as serving smoked salmon with your eggs or topping it on your favorite bagel. You might consider adding fish to your favorite pasta dishes, on your tacos, or adding it to a stir-fry or homemade sauce. Fish can also be a quick on-the-go snack. Tuna and salmon pouches can be eaten alone, on crackers and salads, or in a sandwich for a quick, protein-packed meal.<\/p>\n
