Fish, like chicken breast or lean beef, is a high-protein food that is overall low in fat.
While certain fishes, such as salmon, are fattier, these contain healthful fats similar to those found in nuts.
The fat in fish also provides other nutrients to the body, such as Omega-3 fatty acids.
These fatty acids may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, and various mental health disorders, such as depression and dementia.
Fish can also be a great protein source for individuals who follow a plant-forward, Mediterranean, or pescatarian diet.
