India’s rich cultural diversity is intrinsically linked with Nature and its resources.<\/p>\n

Our ancient wisdom has always treated food as medicine. We are what we eat.<\/p>\n

In earlier times, what we ate reflected our geographical origin and the ingredients were indigenous to the place where we belonged. There were fewer incidents of illnesses as long as we ate the right food from individual cultural pots.<\/p>\n

Throughout history, Nature and its resources have consistently provided the support necessary for life.<\/p>\n

In order to lead a wholesome and healthy life, it’s essential to have a balanced diet with the right proportion of macronutrients, micronutrients and dietary fibre.<\/p>\n

Globalisation, however, has caused an increase in food-related health issues, often worsened by physical inactivity.<\/p>\n

This can be achieved using locally grown seasonal vegetables, fruits and grains, thus minimising the risk of metabolic illnesses.<\/p>\n

Similarly, people from coastal areas ate more fish for economic reasons. Due to the salt pans, vegetables also didn’t grow easily in these areas. People who ate fish benefitted from the balanced nutrients it provided.<\/p>\n

If you love fish or plan to introduce it into your diet, you must know all about its nutritional contents and health benefits.<\/p>\n

Nutritional content of fish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humans cannot produce Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential particularly for our eyes during early development.<\/p>\n

Fatty fish have two types of Omega-3 fatty acids called DHA-Docoso hexanoic acid and EPA- Eicaso Pentanoic acid which helps develop the retina and maintain the integrity of the retinal layer.<\/p>\n

Seawater fish have high sodium, potassium, protein and higher Omega-3 fatty acids while freshwater fish have more calcium, iron, manganese and vitamins A and B9, particularly salmon and bass.<\/p>\n
