Right? \u00a0The fish is what nourishes our bodies with rich Omega 3 fatty acids and protein.\u00a0 If you can, go for the sashimi.\u00a0 Sashimi is delightful and the options are diverse and most always include Yellowfin Tuna, salmon, eel and mackerel.\u00a0 Mackerel sashimi is a very heart healthy choice. At a mere 160 calories, each 4 oz serving offers a hefty dose of omega 3\u2019s and25 grams of protein.\u00a0 Mackerel is also lower in mercury than most other large fish.If you prefer more of a combined sushi experience, go ahead and order the roll you love, but request minimal rice and increase the vegetables.\u00a0 Try to limit the cream cheese and imitation crab and please, try not to order the fried tempura rolls! Those rolls are not sushi at all, they are more like savory fish donuts! You can always go veggie as well.\u00a0 Ordering a cucumber roll, avocado roll or sea vegetable roll is a good option, but void of the Omega 3\u2019s your body craves and needs. You can also increase the health benefits by swapping the white rice for brown. Brown rice is a lower glycemic food than white rice and has more nutrients and less calories.\r    \r        \r            \r                \r            \r        \r        \r            \r                Try our Omega 3\r                Our omega-3 is sourced from the icy waters of Norway and tested for purity to ensure an odorless product without the fishy aftertaste.\r                View Our Omega 3\r            \r        \r    \r    View Our Omega 3\rHow Fish Can Help Your HeartFish, especially salmon, tuna, and mackerel, are nutrient and heart healthy fatty acid rich and nourish our bodies with these essential fatty acids required for optimal heart function.\u00a0 Omega 3 fatty acids, such as those found in sushi and fish oil supplements, lower elevated triglyceride levels and increase healthy HDL cholesterol.\u00a0 The heart healthy properties in Omega 3\u2019s also protect and increase the strength of your arteries and decrease the harmful plaque build-up of LDL cholesterol.Eating sushi, real sushi, is not only an epicurean pleasure, but also a bodily luxury!\u00a0 Really, as you learn to order and delight in real, fatty acid ripe, simply constructed \u201csushi\u201d, you are massaging the workings of your heart and arteries as all of those velvety essential fats are absorbed.\u00a0 Now that is an added benefit I would never want to miss!Ok sushi school graduate, go get some yummy sashimi and bask in both the taste and heart health benefits you are lucky enough to eat!If you are looking for the highest quality Vitamin and Mineral Supplements personalized for you, please go to www.personanutrition.com and take their on-line questionnaire providing individualized vitamin and mineral recommendations.
