Scientists have named the healthiest fish and explained why

As you know, fast food or excessive consumption of sugar and sugar-based products are not always our best friends. They can also cause inflammation in the body. And most types of fish are considered good at fighting this problem. But there is one that can cope with it the best.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you which fish is the most beneficial and why, based on the data of scientists from Harvard Health Publishing.

According to researchers, the causes of inflammation can be different. Most often, they occur in response to some kind of injury or illness, the presence of a toxin in the body, excess weight, or, as mentioned above, excessive consumption of fast food or sugar. The most useful foods for fighting inflammation are oily fish. And the best of all is mackerel, which is included in the list of healthy foods.

It's all about omega-3 and fatty acids

According to the International Journal of Molecular Science, salmon, mackerel, sardine, herring, and trout are the source of the highest levels of omega-3s. Approximately 1-3.5 g per serving. Mackerel among them has 2.5 g per serving. First of all, these fatty acids can easily reduce chronic inflammation and reduce the risk of serious diseases.

It is believed that the most common inflammatory biomarkers are diabetes, high cholesterol and C-reactive proteins. A study showed that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids led to a decrease in the level of these biomarkers. Especially in people with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This is stated in some scientific reports.
