veerites Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Mackerel is the name used for a species of fish belonging to the Scombridae family and these include King and Spanish mackerel, Atlantic and Cero. Health Benefit # 1: Helps against cardiovascular disease. Mackerel is an oily fish, but to you, it means that the humble mackerel helps against cardiovascular disease. How? This is how... Mackerels are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. They have health benefits for every age group, from young to elderly. Evidence shows that omega-3 fatty acids not only lower triglycerides (Fat in the blood. If you have a high level of triglycerides in your body, you could be susceptible to stroke and heart disease.) Health Benefit # 2: Good source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is vital for the normal growth and development of teeth and bones. Vitamin D also helps facilitate the normal immune system function. Vitamin D also helps in the absorption of phosphorous and calcium. Health Benefit # 3: Mackerels also help against age-related vision loss. This is because mackerels contain omega-3 fats. Studies have shown that people whose diet consisted of fish rich in omega-3 fats, like mackerels, had a decreased risk of AMD - age-related macular degeneration. Quote Link to comment
