There are special benefits for women to eat fish, and it would be a big loss if they don't like to eat fish

Fish meat is rich in nutrients, contains a large amount of high-quality protein, and is low in fat. It tastes delicate, tender and easy to digest. Recent studies have found that women are more suitable for eating fish. In addition to preventing them from gaining weight, eating fish also has the following special benefits for them.

It is beneficial to the healthy growth of the fetus. Danish scientists have found that pregnant women who regularly eat fish are much less likely to have premature births than those who do not eat fish or eat very little fish. They also found that eating fish once a week during pregnancy was only associated with a 1.9 percent chance of premature birth, while pregnant women who never ate fish had a 7.1 percent chance of premature birth. Researchers believe that fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may prevent premature birth and effectively increase the birth weight of newborns.

Prevent breast cancer. Studies have shown that the incidence of breast cancer among women in Japan, South Korea and Iceland is lower, which is related to their frequent consumption of deep-sea fish. Finnish researchers have found that the essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish can inhibit the formation of cancer cells and prevent the reproduction of cancer cells. Eating fish twice a week can reduce the recurrence rate of breast cancer.

Prevent complications of diabetes. Women with diabetes are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. However, foreign studies have shown that the more fish female diabetic patients eat, the less likely they are to develop heart disease within 16 years; compared with those who rarely eat fish, the incidence of heart disease in diabetic patients who eat fish more than 5 times a week can be reduced by 64%.

Prevent stroke and cardiovascular disease. British researchers tracked 80,000 women aged 34 to 35 and found after 14 years that eating fish five times a week could reduce the incidence of stroke in women by 52%.

Relieve dysmenorrhea. Danish scientists asked women with a history of dysmenorrhea to take two grams of fish oil every day. After three months, their dysmenorrhea symptoms were significantly improved.
