Sardines

Oily seafood like sardines is full of omega-3 fatty acids. They may have less mercury pollution than larger fish and are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

The majority of the vitamins and minerals your body requires to thrive are found in sardines, which are a nutritional powerhouse. Fish are also a good source of protein, vitamins, selenium, and calcium. According to the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, consuming 8 ounces (oz) per week of a variety of seafood provides, on average, 250 milligrams (mg) per day of EPA and DHA. In terms of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, one 3.75-ounce (106-gram) can of sardines provide 27%, 15%, 9%, 36%, 8%, and 88% of your daily requirements, respectively. Additionally, they're a great source of omega-3 fats, which reduce inflammation.
