In todays fast paced world its easy to succumb to convenience of processed foods. They are fast, relatively cheap, and easy. But what is one putting into their body when they eat these highly processed foods?
Wild caught
fish from the ocean is as natural and organic now as it was hundreds of years
ago. There are many benefits of eating organic and opting for this
natural and wholesome food source, from superior nutrition to the low impact it
has on our environment.
With so
many people distanced from where their Seafood comes from eating wild caught
local fish from Greenfish is as good as catching it yourself.
1.
Nutritional Value
Organic
wild caught fish is a nutritional powerhouse. It is an excellent source
of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. These essential nutrients
play a vital role in promoting heart health, brain functionality and over all
well being. In contrast heavily processed foods are often laden with
unhealthy fats, sodium added sugars and artificial preservatives.
2.
Antibiotic Free
Intensive
farming methods of cattle and poultry often leads to the overuse of routine
antibiotics to keep animals from getting sick in overcrowded spaces.
Besides the humanitarian aspect and cruelty to animals that can occur the
residual effects of these antibiotics designed for animals can remain in the
processed foods you eat and absorbed into your body. Wild caught fish and
venison share the same benefits of been raised the way nature intended,
swimming against currents, or crossing mountains, feeding on what nature has
provided the way nature have evolved to perfection. At the end of the day
if there is a sick fish in the wild it gets eaten by a shark or another
predator as only the strongest healthiest survive giving you a cleaner and
purer food source.
3.
Environmental Sustainability
Choosing
organic wild caught fish caught with a low impact fishing method helps preserve
out oceans and our delicate eco systems. Responsible fishing practices such as
pole and line or hand line have an almost zero by catch (no turtles or dolphins
etc…), does not destroy the habitat, has no risk of ghost fishing, is highly
selective as it only targets a single species, is labour rich generating more
jobs per ton of fish harvested, while empowering local ownership and heroing
cultural fishing traditions all this ensures the long term viability of the
fish populations that are harvested from. On the other hand industrial
fishing methods and heavily processed foods are often associated with
deforestation, excessive water usage, and the release of green house gases,
exacerbating environmental issues.
4.
Taste and Culinary Versatility
One of the
joys of consuming organic wild caught fish is the incredible tase and culinary
versatility it offers. When fresh there is often very that needs to be
done to get the wonderful taste of the ocean. For me less is more and a
dollop of butter and some salt and pepper is enough. This is where the
freshness and flavours of fresh wild caught fish outshines processed
alternatives that are often treated with whiting agents and chemicals.
In conclusion when
it comes to making choices about our diet and what we want to put into our
bodies, choosing an organic wild caught fish over processed Seafoods brings a massive range of
benefits. From superior nutrition and the abundance of omega 3 fatty
acids to reduced risk and a lower impact on our environment the advantages are
undeniable.
Eat the way
nature intended, organic and wild caught. Your body will thank you.
Make the positive change in your eating habits and reap the healthy rewards
while enjoying a low impact lifestyle.
