Fish is a staple diet among many communities around the world and it’s valued for its taste and nutrition. It’s a wonderful source of protein and it also has a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids - the ‘good fat’ known to benefit your heart and brain!

Not just that, a fish diet is rich in micronutrients and low in calories.

But be that as it may, the fact is that fish eating comes with a caveat these days. For starters, relentless water pollution and chemical-induced fish farming have made them poisonous to an extent.

Mercury accumulation is one of the major problems in fish meat and consuming such fish could lead to major health problems. Also, eating canned fish may not be the solution as our certified NTP Sarah Sloan points out in this video.

Watch the full podcast here to know more about fish eating and how to choose the right kind of fish. You’ll learn a great deal about popular fish species, which of them are safe to eat, and which ones to avoid in general.

Did you know our ancestors had access to about 1800 varieties of food whereas we only have 20 at best?! How did our food palate shrink so much in just a matter of decades? It’s a matter of serious concern and something that needs our attention now more than ever.

Food biodiversity is not a luxury but a necessity of life. It sustains our life, our health, our well-being, and our environment. Industrial food practices, monoculture farming, and climate change are silently driving many food species to extinction.

Even popular food items like avocado and cocoa are endangered and could soon become scarce or even go extinct! This calls for a strategic shift to sustainable farming and to save our edible biodiversity.

Join us in this episode of Food Farmacy Show where we trace the history of diverse food species and the threats to existing species. Our certified NTP Sarah Sloan covers every aspect of food biodiversity and gives her expert recommendations to prevent biodiversity loss.
