Eating fish heads can prevent aging and improve skin health! The heat mine is hidden here...

During the Spring Festival, families reunite and as the saying goes, "There will be fish every year", fish is almost a must-have delicacy on the table. Although eating fish has many benefits, fish heads have the highest nutritional value and have anti-aging and beauty-enhancing effects. However, doctors remind people with gout, hemorrhagic diseases or high cholesterol that they should eat fish in moderation. Only by eating fish correctly can they supplement nutrition.

Dr. Zhou Shuoqu from the Department of Family Medicine at the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Shuang He Hospital pointed out that Taiwan is surrounded by the sea and has abundant fishery resources. Fish dishes are ever-changing and have become one of the national delicacies. In fact, fish is a high-quality animal food. It has the advantages of high protein, low fat, and rich in vitamins and minerals. Because of its low calories, it also has an auxiliary effect on weight loss.

However, it should be noted that fish has relatively high belly fat. Taking salmon as an example, data from the Food Nutrition Facts Database shows that the "salmon belly" contains 349 calories per 100 grams. In other words, if we calculate based on the weight of a piece of salmon belly sashimi, which is 25 grams, just eating 4 slices of fish, not including other ingredients and rice, is equivalent to 1.2 bowls of rice (1 bowl is about 280 calories), which is quite considerable. Therefore, the recommended intake amount should be controlled within 3 to 8 servings per day (1 serving is equivalent to the size of a woman's palm) depending on personal constitution, and it is more appropriate not to consume excessively.

When eating fish, carefully select the internal organs and try not to eat them

In addition, fish oil contains a large amount of vitamins A and D, especially in the liver; fish meat also contains a lot of B vitamins, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus than livestock and poultry meat. Marine fish also provides rich iodine, which are very important for the development of the nervous system or normal metabolism. Small fish that can be eaten with their meat and bones are an excellent source of calcium.

Fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon, saury and sardines have even higher nutritional value because they provide very special omega-3 fatty acids - EPA and DHA. However, there are two things you must pay attention to when eating fish: 1. Try not to eat the fish's internal organs. 2. Large fish are prone to contamination problems, so it is best to choose small fish that can be placed whole on the plate.

Fish is rich in nutrients, but gout patients should not eat fish on an empty stomach.

Fish head has high nutritional value, but it is not suitable for people with high cholesterol

Dr. Zhou Shuoqu emphasized that fish food is rich in nutrients, and fish heads have the highest nutritional value because they contain lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids that are essential to the human body. Regular consumption of fish heads has anti-aging and beauty-enhancing effects, but when purchasing, you should focus on those that are fresh and have no odor. People with high cholesterol should not eat too much.

There are three taboos on eating fish: people should eat less

1. People with gout should not eat fish on an empty stomach: Foods such as fish, shrimp, and shellfish are rich in purine. If you consume a large amount of fish containing purine on an empty stomach without enough carbohydrates to break it down, the body's acid-base balance will be disturbed, which can easily induce gout or aggravate the condition of gout patients.

2. People with liver and kidney dysfunction should eat less fish: Fish is rich in protein. Excessive intake will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. People with severe liver and kidney damage should eat fish in a fixed amount under the guidance of a doctor. When it comes to cooking, less frying and more steaming is recommended.

3. People with bleeding diseases should eat less fish: Fish fat contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which prevents cholesterol from adhering to blood vessel walls and is very beneficial for people with atherosclerosis. However, excessive intake of EPA will inhibit platelet aggregation, easily aggravate the bleeding symptoms of patients with hemorrhagic diseases, and be detrimental to recovery.
