Do you eat fish?

Just like Dustin Lynch I have always loved to go fishing. As a little girl I would always go fishing with my dad, and now going with my friends. It's just always been a love of mine, as well as Dustin's. So I got to thinking, is fish a good (healthy) thing to eat? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Advantages of eating fish:
Almost all healthy diets contain fish. Fish is a food with protein and fewer calories than other sources of meat. Eating about two portions of fish a week could cut the risk of dying by heart disease by a third. The consumption of fish can lower the risk of death from heart disease by thirty six percent. A Swedish study done over thirty years on 6,000 me showed that men who did not eat fish between doubled and tripled the risk of developing prostate cancer. Compared to the men who did eat fish. Eating fish can also reduce depression due to he omega-3 fatty acids.

Disadvantages of eating fish:
Fish were made to reduce water pollution, not to be eaten. Researchers around the world discovered that regularly eating fish (one to two times a week) can increase the risk of obtaining diseases form asthma to prostate cancer. All of the people who eat fish can be faced with brain and eye diseases, because the fish absorb the oxygen in your body. There is also a better chance of getting cancer by eating fish. The human body can not digest fish very well. Thus causing cancer.

There are a few similarities between the advantages and disadvantages of eating fish. In both articles I acquired my information from they talked about depression. The article that I read that talked about advantages stated: Omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish are believed to raise levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which aids in reducing depression. http://articles.cnn.com/2007-07-11/health/pl.fish_1_fish-salmon-or-mackerel-fatty-acids?_s=PM:HEALTH
In the article about disadvantages it says: Fish will take the oxygen out of your body, and without oxygen you will feel depressed. http://svtuition.com/disadvantages-of-eating-fish/

There are also many differences stated in the two articles about advantages and disadvantages of eating fish. In the article about advantages of eating fish it talks about inflammation. It says: Omega-3 fatty acids regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions like arthritis. In the article about disadvantages it talks about low eyesight. It says: Breastfed babies of mothers who eat fish face the problem of low eyesight.

I think there are many more advantages of eating fish than there are disadvantages, and will continue to eat fish. Who knows, maybe one day ill be fishing with Dustin Lynch!
