How often are you eating fish? Are you confused about sourcing, quality, and how to choose fish? Does cooking fish at home intimidate you? Tune in to hear us discuss the myriad of benefits to fish consumption including improved mental health, brain development, eye health and decreased cardiovascular risk and unpack some of the common concerns about fish consumption.
We recommend getting fish in the diet two to three times per week, but many struggle to make this a reality. In this episode, we unpack some of the barriers to fish consumption including not knowing what to select, common mistakes when cooking fish at home, and fears about microplastics and heavy metals. Learn about favorite selections and preparation techniques, which fish truly are the healthiest, and how to easily get more fish into your whole family!
