Salmon? Sea bass? Sole? There are many ways to achieve the recommended two weekly servings of fish. Via text message, we have been asking what types of fish you have been eating — many participants have listed salmon and tuna among their favorites.
Why is fish important for prostate health? Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which should be part of any balanced diet. There may be other factors in fish contributing to it’s benefit. Research has suggested that eating fish may lower the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after diagnosis. If you can, adding fish to your diet is preferable than taking fish oil supplements.
For a simple way to incorporate fish into a meal, try a tuna-salad sandwich or some smoked salmon with cream cheese. If you have more time, check out one of the recipes on the Prostate 8 website — from “Miso Glazed Cod” to “Salmon with Hazelnut and Herb Relish,” the website offers many healthy and delicious ideas.
When you’re standing in the grocery store, it may be difficult to know what to look for when buying fish. Check out our shopping guide for help! On the Prostate 8 website, click on “Eat Well” and then “Shopping Guides.” The fish shopping guide will give advice for how to tell if fish is fresh; how to buy frozen fish; and how to store your fish at home.
