Nutritionist reveals which Russians need to eat cod and pollock more often
It is useful for older Russians to include cod, pollock and hake in their diet.
This was reported by nutritionist and doctor of medical sciences Mariyat Mukhina.
She explained that these types of fish are rich in iodine, protein and polyunsaturated acids, reports Moscow 24 .
In addition, they are not only useful, but also quite inexpensive.
The nutritionist recommended introducing lean fish into the diet at least five times a week in the amount of 150-200 grams per day.
A product rich in iodine is useful for the functioning of the thyroid gland, hormone synthesis and metabolism.
Mukhina emphasized that iodine is especially needed by the elderly who live far from the sea.
In addition, the protein contained in fish is useful for building cells and synthesizing antibodies.
The nutritionist advised steaming fish to avoid dangerous carcinogens that appear when frying.
