According to doctors, fish is among the healthiest foods on the planet. It is loaded with important nutrients and vitamin D. Fish is also the best source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for your body and brain.

Generally speaking, all types of fish are good for you. They are high in many nutrients that most people aren’t getting enough of. This includes high-quality protein and various vitamins and minerals.

However, some fish are better than others, and the fatty types of fish are considered the healthiest. This includes the fat-soluble vitamin D, a nutrient that most people are deficient in. It functions like a steroid hormone in the body. Fatty fish are also much higher in omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are crucial for your body and brain to function optimally, and are strongly linked to reduced risk of many diseases. To meet your omega-3 requirements, eating fatty fish at least once or twice a week is recommended.

Fish is generally considered to be among the best foods you can eat for a healthy heart.

Not surprisingly, many large observational studies have shown that people who eat fish regularly seem to have a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes and death from heart disease. Researchers believe that the fatty types of fish are even more beneficial for heart health, because of their high amount of omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are absolutely essential for growth and development. The omega-3 fatty acid is especially important, because it accumulates in the developing brain and eye. For this reason, it is often recommended that expecting and nursing mothers make sure to eat enough omega-3 fatty acids.

Pregnant women should also avoid raw and uncooked fish, because it may contain microorganisms that can harm the fetus.

Grey matter is the major functional tissue in your brain, containing the neurons that process information, store memories and make you human.

Studies have shown that people who eat fish every week have more grey matter in the centers of the brain that regulate emotion and memory.

Studies have found that people who eat fish regularly are much less likely to become depressed. Numerous controlled trials have also found that omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial against depression, and significantly increase the effectiveness of antidepressant medications.

Fish and omega-3 fatty acids may also help with other mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder.
