Real Food Tipp on Dec-19: Fish is healthy, BUT eat it wisely Fish & seafood has always been an important source of nutrients for humans. Essential proteins and fatty acids, vitamins A & D (just think cod liver oil), minerals such as iodine, selenium... However, nowadays our waters are much more polluted than they used to be, what has led to some health concerns about eating fish. In general it can be said that the benefits of eating fish still outweigh the potential risks - because the selenium content in fish protects us from the heavy metals it might contain.

As a rule of thumb, the bigger the fish, the longer it lives and the further it travels, the higher the probability that it is contaminated. Small fish like sardines or anchovies are a much saver choice than tuna or salmon for example, while still providing beneficial omega 3s. The high risk fish can still be eaten, but maybe only 1-2x per month. Its anyways not a bad idea to vary the fish you eat since the popular sorts are also overfished. Another trick you can play is to take a Chlorella supplement 30min before eating fish. This will help your body to eliminate toxins potentially present in the fish. metabolance/Chlorella-Algae-200-tab-r-500mg
