Gastroenterologist Dilyara Lebedeva: fish is one of the most important products in the human diet.

Doctor Lebedeva explained why you need to periodically eat fish (primarily sea fish, including herring, chum salmon, pink salmon, mackerel). The specialist noted that fish provides the body with the omega-3 fatty acids it needs to protect against cancer.

“Fish on the menu is the main source of omega-3 fatty acids. It is omega-3 that, in sufficient quantities, protects against colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer,” shared doctor Dilyara Lebedeva.
The doctor added that the habit of eating fish two to three times a week helps prevent diabetes and heart disease . In addition, the fatty acids it provides the body support brain function and prevent age-related decline and the development of dementia. Lebedeva reported that from fish heads and tails you can prepare fish soup, which will contain the same omega-3 fatty acids, as well as vitamin A, iron, zinc and calcium.

The MedikForum.ru portal previously wrote about this that the habit of drinking black tea may be beneficial in protecting against diabetes.
