Welfare Nutritional values Welfare Fish products, a source of proteins of high biological value, mineral salts, vitamins, constitute a valid alternative to other protein foods of animal origin (meat of terrestrial animals, eggs, etc.) and differ from them above all for the lipid component. All types of fish have a high protein content that is between 15 and 20% of calories, with proteins of high nutritional content, that is, containing all the essential amino acids for the body. The composition of fats, on the other hand, is more variable. Contrary to meat , polyunsaturated fatty acids prevail, in particular they are rich in Omega 3 which protect us fromformation of thrombi and emboli, reducing circulating triglycerides and aggregation of platelets. In addition, fish has a low cholesterol content. In addition to this, fish has good values of calcium, iodine, iron and phosphorus, and vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamins of group B. Regular consumption of fish is known to have important health effects: • Protects from circulatory and heart diseases (thrombosis, heart attack, stroke) • Promotes normal fetal development (Omega 3s are essential for the development of the eyes and brain). • Promotes the reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol. • Improves visual function and protects the skin from premature aging. • Promotes good thyroid function. The set of experimental and clinical studies has certainly shown that the intake of fish or animal fats has a positive effect on the state of health, especially as regards the cardiovascular district. It follows that an increase in fish consumption by our community is highly recommendable.
