Anchovies Sardines & Fish
Eating sardines and anchovies as part of a Mediterranean diet offers numerous health benefits. These small fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health, reduce inflammation, and improve cholesterol levels. They provide high-quality protein, vitamins D and B12, calcium, and selenium, supporting bone health, immune function, and overall wellness. The Mediterranean diet itself is linked to reduced risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, promoting longevity and better digestive health. Additionally, sardines and anchovies are low in toxins and offer sustainable, nutrient-dense options that enhance the diet's flavor and versatility.
