Will eating fish make Kenyans LESS anaemic? Experts say so


One of the vitamins contained in fish is vitamin B complex. It is among the few foods that naturally contain this element with many others often being found in artificially manufactured supplements. One of the main benefits of vitamin B is effective formation of red blood cells. It is perhaps one of the reasons why pregnant women are encouraged to eat fish at least twice a day. The vitamins also help in energy production in the body by improving efficiency in combustion. Persons actively involved in physical activities would be well served if they took up this meal.

Vitamin B complex is touted as a natural immunity booster and a mood lifter. The latter element is also related to the benefit of alleviating anxiety. These are unusual benefits of eating fish; a meal every Kenyan should take regularly.

The B complex vitamins also help in improving the heart health. Vitamins B1 and B2 facilitates healthy functioning of the heart, nerves, and muscles. The nervous system and the digestive systems are also improved significantly through consumption of vitamin B3. B5 and B12 help in facilitating growth and development; making them very essential for growing children. Vitamin B6 boosts the immune system and also helps in the effective digestion of proteins while B7 helps with the production of hormones. Some random surveys conducted among Kenyan women attest to the hormone balance coming with vitamin B7 where they claim to be having more regular menstrual cycles after consistently consuming fish.

In summary, eat fish (in Kenya) and stand to gain the following:
-          Healthy functioning heart, muscles and nervous
-          Healthy digestive system
-          Secure normal growth and development for your children
-          Stronger immunity system; save on medical costs
