[@tinacox9526]

Awesome info video enjoy fish

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Don't be surprised - on most Cruise ship buffets you will find Tilapia fish - as much as you like.The problem is - they taste good and unless you know the story behind it - you would never suspect an issue.

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

You're so right, Bernhard! Tilapia is a common choice at buffets because of its mild flavor and affordability, but knowing its sourcing and farming conditions is so important. Thanks for highlighting this-it’s a great reminder to be mindful of what’s on our plates, even on vacation! 🛳🐟

I thought so ive read online tilapia is not so good for you especially farm raised?

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Yes, there has been some controversy regarding tilapia, particularly farm-raised tilapia, due to concerns about its nutritional profile and farming practices. Here are the key points to consider: Concerns about Farm-Raised Tilapia Omega-3 and Omega-6 Balance: Low Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Tilapia generally has lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to other fatty fish like salmon. High Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Some studies suggest that farm-raised tilapia can have a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, which may contribute to inflammation if consumed in excess relative to omega-3s. Farming Practices: Diet and Feed: Farm-raised tilapia are often fed a diet that includes corn and soy, which can affect the nutritional content of the fish. Use of Antibiotics and Chemicals: There are concerns about the use of antibiotics and other chemicals in some tilapia farming operations to prevent disease and promote growth. These practices can potentially lead to antibiotic resistance and contamination. Environmental Impact: Waste and Pollution: Poorly managed fish farms can contribute to water pollution due to waste and the use of chemicals. Escape of Non-Native Species: Farmed tilapia can escape into local waterways and disrupt local ecosystems. Nutritional Benefits Despite these concerns, tilapia does have some nutritional benefits: High in Protein: Tilapia is a good source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. Low in Calories and Fat: Tilapia is relatively low in calories and fat, making it a good option for those looking to maintain a healthy weight. Choosing Healthier Alternatives If you're concerned about the potential downsides of farm-raised tilapia, consider these alternatives: Wild-Caught Fish: Look for wild-caught fish, which typically have a more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Examples include wild-caught salmon, sardines, mackerel, and herring. Other Sustainable Seafood: Consider other sustainable seafood options such as trout, arctic char, and wild-caught cod. Farmed Fish from Reputable Sources: If you choose farmed fish, look for those from reputable sources that follow sustainable and healthy farming practices. Certifications like the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) or the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) can help identify responsibly farmed seafood.

[@hainguyen7971]

Indeed! Don’t eat Tilapia from China where framer feeds it with chemicals dye to its dirty water on environment so that Tilapia can survive! It is scared me when I discovered farm raise Tilapia with that deeply concerns for consumers in America and the world . FDA didn’t do their job right to protect us due to corruption! The bottom line is DO NOT BUY and EAT

[@Mimine-d5g]

Thank you so much Doctor for charing ❤🎉

[@Mimine-d5g]

May ♥️ GOD bless 🙌 🙏 you 🙌 and your family

[@donswearingen9805]

I'm not fond of salmon. I'll eat sardines. I'd love to get fresh ones. I like mussels. Never think of shark. Don't care about tuna. Don't like tilapia. So why aren't they raised better? Now. I love: Bluegill. Trout. Catfish. Carp, All other panfish. 90% of the fish I eat are caught by me.

[@hainguyen7971]

Many of us not understand the Word sea food means to you! Sea food means not farm food Unfortunately. They still label and named sea food instead of farm raise that called sea food ! Hell No! Be carefully

[@WillyK51]

Yuck, Catfish and Carp?? Botom waste feders. Just ribbing You. I really like Salmon. But Down south it's imported and probally raised. My Caribean backyard gives Cuda, mackerel, waho, which we catch most. Fresh water peackock Bass, Catfish, Even the bigh 1-2 lbs piranhas are delicious. Nothing like cathing them yourself😎👍

[@gabbyamoh]

Thank you I’ll start adding these fishes into my diet ❤❤❤

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

yay! let us know how it goes! 😃

[@anthonyrowe2761]

Thank you very much for those tips

[@georgiak4868]

As a Mediterranean persons we are going to tell you that you forgot to mention the most tasteful fish the anchovies that we are eating them about three times a week add sardines also a baby Cod with salad and dandelions olives add feta cheese but in the US you cannot find such a things in the US they telling you to eat right but you cannot find any good quality and fresh vegetables fish and fruits everything is refrigerator nothing it is in season because they put in the refrigerator the meat it is guess first of all most of the fish filet which when you fillet the fish most off the nutrients they're gone because of the process that it goes through the whole fish he holds all the nutrients in it Europeans they will never eat filet they cook it and burn it themselves special the Mediterranean people thank you

[@davsny5]

I only eat Safe Catch tuna because it’s mercury tested and they have ahi yellowfin. You can get 6 cans of it for $12.99 at Costco which ain’t bad.

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Good call

[@LouieAvengoza]

I think the best are 1.Bangus 2.Japayuki (salmon Phillipines) 3.Galonggong😂❤

[@sandrapalmer4744]

Where would you put Smelt. They are delicious only they have been over fished in the Great Lakes. ☹️🥵

[@wisdomwisdomunivited3573]

How Salmon fish looks like ? Can you show the picture please ??

[@philipc9664]

You forget one of the best Mediterranean mackerel 🦈

[@briancoombes9789]

No fish is actually healthy now to much pollution in the waters

[@JamesHadfield-qz9rv]

Chunk light tuna over Albacore? that AINT what My Taste buds tell me! And ill pay More attention to that. Chunk light ,even the Texture is MUSH. Will go with my own Experience instead of these Full of themselves LAB RATS. you see, Mercury isn't so bad, it's in thermomiters that tell us our Temperture!

[@manuelagustin7719]

how about farmed salmon...

[@LynnMonroe-c3f]

I guess flounder is ok to eat it's not on the bad list

[@CesarMartinez-oc4xm]

How would we know if the Salmon is wild caught if bought in supermarket or imported from abroad...mussels together with oysters ,shrimps are well known " garbage cleaners" of the ocean

[@ElaineEvans-rm3nz]

The only Salmon I eat is out of a can to make salmon croquettes, I don't really trust the food supply anymore but you have to eat something, maybe try Chicken of the sea Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon in a can if that is of any help!

[@rodneyshannon5759]

They add dyes to farm salmon...you can get wild salmon almost everywhere I'm very high in the mountains and I get it.

[@bornfree3963]

Sardines are very high in purine so people suffer from gout should not eat them.

[@judithalva8209]

Definitely not Tilapia. Is it not raised in polluted waters ? Check it out.

[@martinleonard1992]

Panga too

[@cherianpv]

But, I have read about the risks from eating Sardines by the elderly people, because Sardines contain high Purine content (causing elevation of uric acid levels) and high sodium content, causing Hypertension and heart disease.

[@Paparoxx]

I'm 81 & eat them in OO on a regular basis... what's the issue?

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Great observation! Sardines are nutrient powerhouses but can be tricky for some, especially due to purines and sodium. If you’re managing conditions like gout or hypertension, portion control and choosing options like low-sodium varieties packed in water or olive oil can help. Always best to consult with a doctor for personalized advice. Thanks for bringing up this important topic! 🐟💡

[@armandzottola1626]

Salmon costs more than beef tenderloin…get real!

[@tomhermens7698]

Yes and both are poisoned.

[@BeverlyWorthington]

But the fish is much healthier than the beef.

[@Michaeldavis-il6od]

Sushi 🍣

[@WillyK51]

He, He, The shortest life span fish are the healthiest, Guess Sardines

What's the diffedrence between "The Top 3 Healthiest Fish ..." and, simply, "The 3 Healthiest Fish ...?"

[@Moon888-oy8bb]

Modern canning, cartons and disposable coffee cups are lined with cheap plastic!

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

That’s a great point, Moon! It's always good to be mindful of how our food and drinks are packaged. Opting for reusable containers and avoiding single-use plastics can help protect both our health and the environment. Thanks for sharing this important reminder! 🌍☕

[@StevenHughes-hr5hp]

Why would anyone eat any of those? Fish with soft white flaky flesh actually tastes good.

[@StevenGianatasio]

Stay away from Catfish too.

[@Healthycare-bg9pu]

[@salimsultan4953]

Good propaganda for promotion of European fish?

[@chrisfetner332]

Tilapia=Mexico

[@michaelpatterson4159]

No catfish, tilapia or mussels, YUCK.

[@sandrapalmer4744]

Where would you put Smelt. They are delicious only they have been over fished in the Great Lakes. ☹️🥵

[@thebalancedhealthchannel]

Smelt are indeed delicious, Sandra! While they're a great source of omega-3s and protein, overfishing is a real concern, especially in ecosystems like the Great Lakes. It's so important to support sustainable seafood practices to keep these species around for future generations. Thanks for bringing this up! 🌊🐟
