The nutritional value of fish (especially salt-water fish) is a superior source of nutrients, which are vital to growth and good health.
Fish yield high amounts of proteins, vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fats. Protein is basic to the diet. It can be broken down into amino acids which are essential for the growth and repair of body tissue. Whereas some proteins are incomplete and must be supplemented with other protein foods, fish proteins are complete, containing all the amino acids required by the body. A half-kilo serving can contain from thirty to fifty percent of the body's daily requirement of protein. Fish are also a valuable source of vitamins, which are necessary for the body's functions. Fish liver oil is an exceptional source of vitamins A and D. Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin and development of bones. Vitamin D plays an important part in the body's use of calcium, a mineral vital for sound teeth and bones. Fat fish in particular are a prime source of vitamin D. All fish contain several of the B complex vitamins necessary for many of the body's processes, especially digestion and the nervous system.
Just as fish is a source of proteins and vitamins, it is a top source of minerals too. The body depends on minerals for such diverse functions as growth and repair, the maintenance of digestive juices, and the composition of fluids in and around cells. Some of the minerals supplied by salt-water fish are phosphorous, copper, iron, calcium and iodine, which are vital in the development of bones and teeth, for the hemoglobin content in blood, helping to prevent nutritional anemia, for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.
In addition to proteins, vitamins, and minerals, fish oils contain polyunsaturated fats. These are essential for healthy skin, and the normal operation of the liver and kidneys. They also can reduce the cholesterol level in blood, decreasing the chances of heart disease.
