Fish is a nutrient-dense superfood, rich in high-quality protein, iodine, and essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support heart and brain health, reduce inflammation, and may lower the risk of chronic diseases. Regular consumption (at least twice a week) is recommended to improve cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and boost cognitive function.
