In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful All the benefits provided by fish are a great blessing given us by our Lord. As with all foods, it is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, Who has created the superior structure in fish for our benefit. Anything you catch in the sea is lawful for you, and all food from it, for your enjoyment and that of travellers… (Quran, 5:96) It is He Who made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh flesh from it... (Quran, 16:14) But when they reached their meeting-place, they forgot their fish which quickly burrowed its way into the sea. When they had gone a distance further on, he said to his servant, Bring us our morning meal. Truly this journey of ours has made us tired. He said, Do you see what has happened? When we went to find shelter at the rock, I forgot the fish… (Quran, 18:61-63) The reason why fish is such an important source of nutrition is that it both provides substances necessary for the human body and also reduces the risk of various diseases. For example, it has been revealed that when fish-which acts as a shield in terms of health with the omega-3 acid it contains-is consumed on a regular basis, it reduces the risk of heart disease and strengthens the immune system. At the same time, omega-3 fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory (infection preventing) function. Omega-3 can therefore be employed in the following diseases: **Rheumatoid arthritis (joint infection linked to rheumatism), **Osteoarthritis (a form of arthritis gradually degenerating the functions of joints) **Ulcerative colitis (ulcers linked to the inflammation of the colon), and **Lupus (a disease which causes patches on the skin). **It also protects myelin (the material surrounding nerve cells). It is therefore used in the treatment of **Glaucoma (an eye disorder marked by abnormally high pressure within the eyeball that may even lead to blindness) **Multiple sclerosis (a serious progressive disease resulting from tissue hardening in the brain and spinal cord), **Osteoporosis (a disease leading to structural weakening in the bone structure) **Diabetes patients. **In addition, it is also reported to be useful in the treatment of Migraine patients, **Anorexia (a possibly fatal eating disorder) **Burns **Problems concerning skin health.
