Is eating fish really better for you than other meats?

yes and let me give u some reasons why : 1. more unsaturated fats 2. catechin, epigalocatechin, omega phospholipids and other antioxidants 3. tocopherols and vit E 4. phosphorus, iron, zinc,iodine, trace elements 5. rich protein..all in a package of really low calories kind of food..as for the rest...  mildly cooked > raw or well done, steam > soup >>>fried(avoid fried food)  saltwater(bigger variety in food chain) > freshwater

Actually, no, you could not live off it.  I assume you mean the meat and fat, and if that is the case, eventually you would get a number of diseases, starting with scurvy (caused by lack of vitamin C).  There is no significant biochemical difference between human muscle and fat, and the muscle and fat of meat animals-but if you only ate meat and nothing else, from any animal, you would die from lack of essential vitamins.  The only meaningful difference is that you be *much* more susceptible to diseases in human flesh than that from other animals, because most diseases are species-specific.  So, 90% of the diseases in a pig, for example, would not infect a human.  On the other hand, 100% of the diseases in human meat would infect you..  Well cooked, though, should do the trick....just make sure you have a good salad and some fruit with it.

No it is not \n\ntoo much of some fish can lead to a mercury accumulation because the ocean is so contaminated but you would have to eat an awful amount - you are not a seal are you?

All animal meats will have cholesterol in them, and seafood has more than chicken and some other meats.  But it is a very lean meat with little saturated fat and transfatty acids, which lead to increase in blood cholesterol.  So if you don't have a problem with high blood cholesterol, there is no reason to avoid seafood.  If so, talk to your doctor.

Salmon is the best for you I believe - but it needs to be super fresh - so dont go to a sushi place that doesnt have a high turnover for risk of bacteria. The taste is quite easy to handle, try going to a sushi train!

This is a good way for anyone trying to get healthy. Look close at the food you eat, and I do not mean eating less. Read the ingredients on EVERYTHING you eat, and yes I do mean EVERYTHING. Avoid all hydrogenated oils, modified anything, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, and non-organic soy products; these things are all genetically altered and are seriously not healthy for you at all, even in moderation. Also, cut out pork, shellfish, any fish without fins and scales really, because those animals are not good for you at all. Try to eat along these guidelines. The more healthy foods may set you back a bit more than regular food in some areas (like organic stuff), but you can find healthy stuff in a ton of places, so just keep your eye out for it. And as far as exercise goes, try running, sit-ups, and push ups. The old fashioned way is the best way, trust me. I have lost 53 pounds in a year and a half following those food guidelines and exercise routine. (I lost 30 in the first three months) Hope this advice helps! Good luck!

Without a doubt Salmon is far superior to anyother fish as far as being healthy for you..Go on the net just type in Salmon or Health and Salmon something like that and you can see for yourself..I did before answering this ?

if you took a ton of it you'd probably have some stomach problems and feel nauesated. also, if you're using an omega 3 thta is fish based and the fish has any mercury in it, that wouldn't be so good for you probably...but other than that i don't think so. another thing i read said that in studies people who got took 1 gram a day were less depressed than the people taking 2 grams a day (the theory being that your body can't process it if you take too much...so it oxidizes which is apparently bad......) but then in some of the depression studies people were taking CRAZY amounts of omega 3s (like 9 grams a day) and doing just fine.

No and no. Many vegetable are actually better for you after they are cooked. The body can't break down some of the raw vegetables properly and you don't get all the nutrients. Spinach is a prime example.

I totally agree with you, I think that's a really good point. Unfortunately, I can't say without being a bit of a hypocrite because I eat fish, shellfish, eggs and other stuff. I think that's an aim to have in your life, but I don't know if I'll ever get there. I don't think about it much, I stopped eating meat and I feel fine and dandy that way, but I do miss fish when I spend a lot of time without eating it. Everybody is different and we should respect one another, but I agree that's the way to go.

If it is unhealthy to eat more than one fish a month, why would you be stupid enough to eat that one ?

your body can convert any fat into cholesterol, whether or not it is vegetable or animal fat\n\nEat what you like, fish is good for you but only in moderation - sea food contains mercury and other heavy metals, try salmon instead

I would definitely say that fresh fish tastes the best. Frozen fish could possibly be generic as well.

Plant protein is the best protein. If is the best for your veines and organs. It is har to get our protein needs from plan proteins so it is always good to loook for higher sources of protein from the meat groupes. Not just any meat. Fish would be the number one on the list with chicken then beef and pork. Always try to go lean on you meats.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who lived in a village, and in that village he became very well known for selling a particular kind of fish that all the villagers took home and cooked for their families. So popular was this fisherman that he came to believe that his fish must be the best fish in the whole river, ( even though the river had many other kinds of fish in it ). He even started to claim that his fish had much longer-lasting health benefits than other fish, and that that was why other fish had lost popularity in his own village.\n\nThen one day another fisherman came to the village. This fisherman not only caught fish, but cooked his fish, and served them to the other villagers. Now, as it turned out, his ability to both catch fish and cook them seemed to make him even more popular with the villagers than the first fisherman.\n\nBut the first fisherman was very puzzled by this, as he had become so convinced of his own popularity and success. So he went to the second fisherman to ask what his secret was.\n\n"Well", said the second fisherman, "The river is flowing and abundant, so I'm happy to catch any fish that are in the river, for there are indeed many. And when I get all the different kinds of fish back to my kitchen, I use only the very finest parts of each fish, ( discarding the rest ), and then I cook them together, and serve them to my customers. But I only serve them the right combination of fish according to what I know are the tastes of my individual customers. Because when you know what others really want, then you can really serve them. And serving customers well - that is what I call a real taste of success.

Jigsaw puzzles are good. I'm told that eating fish is also good for the brain (salmon, tuna, and so on). Um, don't drink alcohol excessively or take drugs either. But those two are obvious huh?

No because lunch meat has too much salt. Turkey is the best and is low in fat so you're alright there but cheese has a lot of fat as well! Whole grain is also a good choice as well. Try tuna fish for some of those days because that will give you your protein with low fat and salt.
