Everyone knows that fish is good for you, but why? And what about contaminants like mercury or other toxins?
To answer the first question, fish is a rich source of important omega-3 fatty acids. These are the ones that support the optimal functioning of the heart, eyes, immune system, skeletal system, and skin and coat.
Supplementing with omega-3 rich foods can benefit such conditions as allergies, arthritis, heart disease, and even cancer. Of course, it is important to find high-quality sources of fish so that its benefits aren't outweighed by what may be contaminating it - including mercury.
