Japan has been handed down from the Edo period to the present, and every summer's soil is ugly, it is necessary to eat "eel" to nourish the body. Due to the hot weather, it is easy to lose appetite and energy. The Japanese believe that eating "eel" can help them stay healthy. The year is full of energy. July 28th this year is the Ugly Day of the Earth. In addition to eating eel with the Japanese, professional nutritionists also recommend two kinds of cheap fish with extremely high nutritional value to help people take care of their health during the epidemic prevention period!
Many people recommend eating eel because it is rich in vitamin A, which can help vision development or improve immunity, but in the eyes of professional nutritionists, eel's vitamin A is actually similar to other fish species, but DHA , EPA is more worthy of praise!
Xu Qiuping, a nutritionist at the Hospital Affiliated to Taipei Medical University, said that EPA in eel can lower blood lipids, resist thrombosis and prevent arteriosclerosis, and has a good effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the DHA of eel can help the activation of brain cells, so it is very suitable for children, teenagers, pregnant women and the elderly to eat. In addition, the B group in eel meat has the effect of restoring fatigue, so it is said to boost the spirit.
Xu Qiuping also said that due to the high oil content of eel, it is suitable for cooking by boiling, steaming, and stewing. The marked sodium content, adults should not exceed 2400 mg of sodium per day.
In addition to eel, dietitian Xu Qiuping also recommends two other high nutritional value, butIt is a relatively cheap fish: mackerel and sea bass, so that people can have different choices during the epidemic prevention and self-cooking period!
Mackerel catches a lot and can be seen all year round in Taiwan. It is a relatively cheap fish species on the market. Xu Qiuping said that mackerel is rich in fish oil and is a fish with a relatively high level of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is recommended for cooking Cooking with tomatoes can enhance the antioxidant effect, and onions can reduce blood lipids; cruciferous vegetables are also a good choice. But be aware that the oil content of mackerel is too high, even much higher than that of eel, so frying is not recommended. At the same time, it should be noted that mackerel is a deep-sea fish, and it is good to eat at most 2-3 times a week to avoid excessive intake of heavy metals.
Xu Qiuping said that the public's impression of sea bass is that it helps wound healing and maintenance. Because it is rich in collagen and contains a lot of leucine, it is very suitable for postoperative patients to eat. The optimal ratio of general fat intake is "polyunsaturated fatty acid: monounsaturated fatty acid: saturated fatty acid = 1:1.5:0.8", while the oil ratio of sea bass is "1:1.55:1.15", which is quite close to the optimal intake ratio It is very suitable for human absorption. However, sea bass is high in purine, so people with high uric acid need to pay special attention to what they eat.
