Herring is the most accessible sea fish, and is also a favorite snack among the general population.
It contains fish oil, which is essential for the body, and a lot of other useful substances. But you shouldn't eat it every day because of this.
Nutritionist Margarita Koroleva explained on air at Sputnik radio why you shouldn’t eat herring every day.
Benefits of herring
Herring is considered one of the most useful and affordable types of sea fish.
It contains protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
But herring cannot be considered an absolutely healthy product.
Therefore, you shouldn’t eat it every day either.
Why not?
Herring cannot be included in the daily diet only because of the salt content. And if you have hypertension, it can actually be harmful.
Especially if it is not home-salted fish, but the one sold in the store. Often it is oversalted.
How often can you eat herring
According to the nutritionist, there will be no harm if herring is present in the diet once or twice a week.
It is also recommended to consume it in the first half of the day.
And if you buy fresh frozen herring, it will bring even more benefits.
