Abstract:
Due to its tremendous nutritional value, fish is one of the most significant foods in the human diet. A class of PUFAs, in particular omega-3 and omega-6, which help prevent thrombosis and atherosclerosis, are well-known to be found in fish. These fatty acids have properties that are anti-inflammatory, anti-arrhythmic, anti-hypertensive, and protective against coronary heart disease. Fish contains almost all of the minerals that our bodies require. Minerals found in fish include iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), phosphorus (P), selenium (Se), fluorine (F), and iodine (I). Due to their high bioavailability, these minerals are easily absorbed by the body. Chronic disease is greatly influenced by dietary practises, particularly those associated with metabolic and endocrine disorders. Fish, a dietary group, contains many vital nutrients that are necessary for the metabolism and hormone function, including omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, selenium, vitamin D, taurine, and carnitine. Fish is also rich in protein and often has a low calorie density. It has been extensively studied how these nutrients affect cardiovascular risk, but it hasn't always been clear how important fish is for overall endocrine and metabolic health. Only a small portion of the numerous mechanisms that mediate these effects have been found. It is true that a low background fish consumption is linked to greater prospective benefits for the bulk of these consequences. Current facts on the value of fish in human nutrition and the positive impact of essential fatty acids on human health are also discussed in this review.
