Omena(Sardine)
Omena Nutritional Benefits: Why You Should Consider Adding It to Your Menu
Low chances of heart diseases:
Has enough omega-3 fatty acids to reduce chances of heart diseases
Healthy fatal development:
The omega-3 fatty acids in sardines provide critical support for the healthy development of a fetus’s brain and nervous system. The babies of mothers who consume significantly low levels of omega-3 have higher chances of delayed brain development.
Mercury poisoning:
Mercury is one of the most damaging pollutants commonly found in fish, including sardines. High amounts of mercury can damage nerves in adults and cause serious issues with the development of young children. But several studies have concluded that the low level of mercury found in sardines is of low risk to consumers, including pregnant women who were previously advised to avoid fish during pregnancy because of possible contaminants.
Improved brain health
When consumed regularly, can help reduce inflammations associated with several factors in the body. Inflammation results to a series of complications that worsen other conditions such arthritis.
Rich omega-3 fatty acids
Rich omega-3 fatty acids in Omena/sardines, when combined with other lifestyle changes, can help increase gray matter in the brain. Gray matter increase may help combat the development of some neurological disorders.
Stronger bones:
Are an excellent source of calcium, providing about a third of the amount needed by the average person in each serving. Vitamin D is vital to this process, since it allows your body to absorb calcium. And sardines are even richer in vitamin D than in calcium. Sardines also contain a third bone-boosting nutrient: phosphorous, which neutralizes acids that could harm your bones.
Improves nerve functioning:
Up to 40% of older adults may be deficient in vitamin B12. This deficiency can cause poor sensory nerve function and problems with the peripheral nerves. Nerve problems can cause other problems. They might reduce mobility, which could result in falling and thus serious injury. One serving of sardines gives atleast three times the amount of B12 most people need.
