Why is codfish much better for our health than red meat such as beef and pork loin? Because cod fish has excellent dietetic qualities:
(1) Has less calories because it has no sugar. It is excellent for diabetics.
(2) It has as much protein as beef or pork. Therefore is excellent for growth!
(3) It is a fatty fish but with the right kinds of fats: linoleic acid and omega 3, both lowering the bad cholesterol!
(4) It is rich in calcium to prevent osteoporosis.
(5) It is rich in phosphorus, needed for the good functioning of our brain.
(6) It is poor in iron, therefore preventing heart attacks.
(7) It has the same amount of salt as our plasma.
(8) It is very rich in potassium which is necessary for the healthy contraction of our muscles especially the heart.
(9) It is rich in iodine necessary for the normal functioning of our thyroid gland.
(10) It is rich in fluoride necessary to prevent cavities.
(11) It is very rich in vitamins A, D and complex B
Why? Because the codfish eat lots of plankton.
What is plankton? Plankton is a Greek word that means " life that floats". Plankton is a huge gathering , like a "green sheet", that floats in the oceans, composed by many trillions of microscopic organisms. Phytoplankton if it is vegetal, like algae. Zooplankton if it is composed of animals such as crustaceous and protozoans.
The exposition of plankton to the sun, because of the phenomenon of photosynthesis, acquires a high concentration of vitamins on which all the fishes have a delicious meal including the codfish. When we sail in the sea we can observe a certain florescence on the sea level due to reflection of the light on the plankton.
(12) I am sure you have heard of the cod liver oil, very rich in vitamins, a very good tonic for the children and grown ups.
(13) Because of the excellent qualities described above, codfish is an anti-oxidant, therefore good to prevent us from getting old!
(14) We do no know yet if codfish lowers the Homocystine which causes heart attacks when it is above normal values.
We
should further analyze the effects
of the linoleic acid and omega on
our health:
(1) They decrease the bad cholesterol in our blood;
(2) They increase the HDL or good cholesterol
(3) They decrease the triglycerides s of bad fats
(4) They increase eh capability of exercise.
(5) They prevent the aggregation of platelets (forming blood clots) therefore decease the chances of heart attacks and strokes.
(6) The suppress the division of the cancer cells.
The codfish and the chicken egg
For many years Medicine considered the chicken egg the most complete type of food. Bu presently, due to the fact that the chicken egg is very rich in cholesterol (the yolk), cod fish is superior for our health because of the excellent qualities described above.
The codfish DECEASES the bad cholesterol , while beef or pork loin increases the bad cholesterol, causing formation of arteriosclerosis in our arteries especially the arteries of our heart and brain.
Viva the codfish! Long live the codfish, our true friend!
Specific effects of linoleic and omega 3 acids:
(1) Decrease the bad cholesterol in our blood
(2) Increase the HDL or good cholesterol
(3) Decrease the bad triglycerides or bad fats
(4) Increase the capacity of exercise
(5) Decrease the aggregation of the platelets, therefore preventing heart attacks and strokes.
