A study from the University of Los Angeles confirms years of studies and centuries of rumors and local legends: the Indian ocean raw fish (sailfish, red snapper, dorado, Kolekole) is especially good for people in old age, more than other types of other seas fish.
A diet in Kenya that includes the famous "sashimi" of red snapper or grouper almost daily, departs seriously the possibility of senile dementia, Parkinson's and other typical diseases of old age.
That raw fish is a protein food, rich in vitamins A and D, minerals, but most of the precious polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega 3, which have powerful beneficial effects on the circulation and nervous system, is known.
Especially that not blue, so the fish specialties that are easily found in the waters of the Kenyan coast, also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke because it fights the formation of blood clots.
They are substances that our body does not produce, so it must absorb them through food.
Without cooking it remains intact its wealth of nutrients in raw fish remains unaltered nutritional heritage, otherwise perishable if it is cooked in the oven or in a pan, as it depletes in canning.
Do not forget the mineral content, which abound in raw fish and when cooked in part are lost. The fish is especially rich in calcium, which strengthens bones, preventing osteoporosis, iron that removes fatigue, as well as phosphorus, iodine, sodium and fluoride.
