The Health Benefits of Sushi
In last week’s blog, we talked about the long history of sushi, the beginning of which goes way back to the second century. And that’s just the documented history of sushi. You can read the blog here to find out more.
This week we’d like to talk about some of the health benefits of eating sushi. Sushi has a ton of health benefits packed in those little rolls, making them not only delicious, but good for you too.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Many of the kinds of fish found in sushi, such as tuna and salmon, are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. These amino acids are complete, meaning that they don’t need to interact with another nutrient to convey all of their potential health benefits, of which there are many. You can read about all of them here, but just to name a few, omega-3’s can lower cholesterol and improve your cardiovascular system.
Protein
In addition to omega-3’s, most seafood found in sushi has plenty of protein, which is essential not just for muscle health, but for lots of other functions in the body as well.
Vitamins and Minerals
As if omega-3’s and protein weren’t enough, sushi gets tons of vitamins and minerals from its seafood content. Calcium and vitamin D make for strong bones, which B vitamins give you plenty of energy.
