Gastroenterologist, nutritionist Rustem Sadykov: fatty fish is good for those who want to lose weight.
Nutritionist Sadykov called herring a fish useful for weight loss . The doctor also advised people who are losing weight to eat mackerel and salmon. The fat that such fish is saturated with is unsaturated. This type of fat has the property of saturating for a long time, activating metabolism, and stimulating the burning of fat deposits.
“Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in herring, mackerel and salmon, have an anti-inflammatory effect, improve heart and brain function, and can also stimulate fat burning,” Sadykov said.
The doctor added that fatty fish is good for weight loss also as a rich source of protein, which is the basis of a healthy diet. Thanks to its use, a person feels full longer and snacks less often – this helps reduce calories and weight loss.
In addition, fatty fish contains vitamins A, D and B12, selenium, zinc, iodine – substances that are essential for strong immunity. By consuming it, the body can more easily tolerate the restrictions necessary for weight loss, and its health does not weaken.
“Many studies confirm that including fatty fish in the diet promotes weight loss and a decrease in body fat… for maximum health benefits and figure, you should eat fatty fish 2-3 times a week,” the doctor advised in a comment to the Doctor Peter portal.
