Fish is certainly the best protein, the building blocks that serve to constantly rebuild our body. This is the main reason why we should eat fish… as often as possible.
- The proteins in fish are of much higher quality than those found in meat or eggs.
- Thanks to this food, you will also get your dose of mineral salts and phosphorus.
- To consume it, it is better to avoid frying or butter, preferring a drizzle of olive oil and a few drops of lemon.
The French turn their noses up at fish. Probably because it has a rather strong smell. Fish. Not the French!
Indeed, apart from this small inconvenience, nothing justifies this attitude. Especially not from a dietary point of view. The proteins in fish are of much better quality than those found in meat or eggs.
Better quality protein in fish than in meat
Excellent quality proteins… but that’s not all. Fish also contains fats. At a time of year when diets are flourishing, we can almost say that the fattiest fish is less fatty than most so-called lean meats. And what’s more, these are fats that are less dangerous for our arteries, and even protective. The great fish-eating peoples – the Eskimos or the Japanese, for example – practically never suffer from myocardial infarction. Finally, if we add that, thanks to this food, you will get your dose of mineral salts and phosphorus, it’s hard to see what prevents mackerel, sole or tuna from healthily livening up the joy of your table!
The prescription: in a net, in foil, with lemon
The appearance? Eat it in fillets. The slightly uniform taste? Learn how to cook it. From a medical point of view, avoid frying or butter. The same goes for the Japanese method of eating raw. Dietetically, this is certainly the best way, but you have to be perfectly certain of the freshness of the catch and its origin. So it should be reserved for fishermen. There are still plenty of excellent methods. The classic, the court-bouillon, the modern, the microwave, the little-used ones, the papillote or steam, and finally the reference during the holidays, provided you don’t have any neighbors, grilling over a wood fire… For those who love taste and sauce, medicine will recommend the must for our arteries: a drizzle of olive oil and a few drops of lemon.
So, convinced? Ah, you’re going to talk to me about the bones. Here again, there is a solution, the ray, which has no trap nestled within its flesh.
Friday, fish day, an excellent custom. But it also works for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…!
