are fish healthy to eat?

Answer 1

Fish are high in Omega-3 that is beneficial for joints, cholesterol and the heart. There have also been studies that show benefits for the fetus while a woman is pregnant. Some fish, typically larger ones like tuna, can have elevated mercury levels. This you want to limit or avoid as much as possible. If you get fish in supplement forms, they are usually very low to no mercury detected. If eating fish, salmon, perch, catfish, etc. are recommended.

Answer 2

First of all fish are safe to eat - I eat fish everyday. Farmed fish have a better controlled diet and have LESS mercury not more (as some other writer reported). Since tuna aren't farmed, if that is your usual source of fish, you need to limit it. My cholesterol level is 116 and triglycerides are 57; so I truly beleive eating fish naturally helps to keep cholesterol under control.

Answer 3

depends on where the fish comes from. some fish have heavy metals, like mercury in them. so to be on the safe side i try to eat it no more than once a month. do some research on what kinds of fish is best for you to eat.
