Fish in Kenya is presumed to be a favourite delicacy but few
are aware of the medical benefits they stand to gain by consuming it. One of
the vitamins contained in fish is Vitamin B complex which contains a wide range
of vitamin B elements. The benefits of each of these vitamins in terms of the
health conditions they may help to prevent are outlined as below.
Vitamin B12 helps in lowering the risk of cervical cancer. The body contains deposits of Vitamin B12 which
are stored in the liver. But when there is a deficiency, certain symptoms
become more prevalent. These symptoms include anaemia, sores in the mouth,
dementia, memory loss, slow reflexes, and numbness in one’s feet and hands
among others. By eating fish, especially the type naturally bred in Kenya’s
L.Victoria, you prevent such health issues.
More significantly, the vitamin B12 found in fish is very
helpful for brain health; especially in preventing brain shrinkage. A 2008
study conducted on aged people indicated that older persons with deficiency in
vitamin B12 tended to experience brain shrinkage; accompanied by other health
issues including memory loss and dementia. In addition to these, B12 helps in
preventing heart disease.
So why eat fish instead of buying B12 supplements? The
vitamins have been proven to be most effective when naturally extracted from
food. Besides, use of supplements puts one at the risk of consuming an excess
of these vitamins. This could, ironically, cause the same health issues that the
vitamins have been known to reduce.
At LEFi, we exclusively source for fish that is naturally
bred in a natural habitat. These contain the elements and vitamins described;
hence they are more beneficial to your health. Fish is most suitable when taken
at least twice a week.
