| Fish is a great source of protein which is needed for growth and maintenance of muscles and body tissues. Fish also contains the minerals selenium, iodine, zinc and phosphorous and is a source of Vitamin B12. We need selenium for normal immune function. We need iodine for normal energy metabolism. We need zinc for aiding wound healing, muscle recovery and to help the body’s defences. We need phosphorus to strengthen bones and teeth. We need vitamin B12 for red blood cell formation. |
