The Virtues of Fish and Kosher Vitamins

Fish has many virtues. It tastes great, is versatile, and best of all, it’s high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Scientific studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids, which are naturally found in fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, anchovies and sardines, as well as flaxseed and some nuts, have a whole host of health benefits.

An intake of Omega 3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and pain and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke, and breast, colon and prostate cancer. Fish oil can also give you better brain function and help improve your memory, and make you feel happier: studies have shown that fish oil fatty acids can help reduce depression, bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder symptoms.

There are loads of Kosher vitamins you can take to make sure you get your share of fatty acids and essential oils. Many chewable varieties are available, and these usually have fruity or lemony flavors.

If you’re not keen on taking Kosher supplements, enjoy the health benefits of fish the old-fashioned way: by eating it. Try pan-frying some salmon in an Asian-style soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic and sesame seed marinade. Or for something refreshing and zesty—and completely healthy—bake some mackerel with tomatoes, basil leaves and lemon juice.
