@health.451: The truth about sardines 1. They are highly nutritious. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Excellent source of protein. High in vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium (when you eat the soft bones), and selenium. 2. They are low in mercury. Because sardines are small fish and low on the food chain, they generally contain much less mercury than larger fish like tuna or swordfish. 3. The bones are edible. In canned sardines, the bones are soft and provide a significant amount of calcium. 4. They may support heart health. Regularly eating sardines as part of a balanced diet may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation thanks to their omega-3 fats. 5. They are affordable and sustainable. Compared with many other seafood options, sardines are often inexpensive and are considered a more sustainable choice. Things to keep in mind Some canned sardines are high in sodium, so check the nutrition label if you're limiting salt. Sardines packed in water contain fewer calories, while those packed in olive oil have more healthy fats but also more calories. People with certain medical conditions, such as gout, may need to limit sardines because they contain purines. #sardines #healthtips #health
