Sushi & Why It Should Be Prepared

By Robert Sutter


I have become a big fan of sushi, as of late, and there are many reasons for this. While I may not consider myself the biggest fish lover, the way that effective sushi is prepared is hard to deny and it's something that I do not mind getting every now and then for dinner. With that said, it wasn't until recently that I started to research the health benefits associated with sushi. To say that I learned a lot about the matter would be one of the biggest understatements ever uttered.

Seaweed is a common ingredient for many types of sushi rolls but what does this ingredient entail? Seaweed is a great source of iodine - a nutrient that many foods do not have - and the way that it is works is primarily in how it regulates activity in the thyroid gland. Without it, the human body would not be able to produce or maintain hormones. Failure of the thyroid gland can result in serious health problems, which only helps to illustrate the early benefits of sushi.

Fish is another crucial component of sushi, depending on the type of roll being prepared. If this is the case, it should be noted that fish is rich in omega-3, which is a type of fat that is actually able to work with the body for health-related reasons. In addition, given the fact that fish is a leaner animal product, it does not have nearly as much cholesterol to account for. It's because of these reasons that sushi has even more benefits to boast.

Even more prominent than seaweed or rice, in regards to sushi, is the presence of rice. Every type of roll has this component, to various extents, and you may find that it can actually positively influence one's health in the long term. For example, did you know that rice can serve as a meat-free source of protein for those who would like to reduce fat in their diets? Add in the fact that rice is easy on those who are allergic to wheat and you have a food source no one should overlook.

To say that sushi has its benefits, due to its most prominent ingredients, would be something of an understatement. Sushi is not only one of the more beloved Japanese delicacies but it is also one of the healthiest additions that anyone can bring into their diet. The good thing about sushi, though, is that there is a tremendous amount of variety for people to get involved in. Throw in both vitamins and essential nutrients and it's easy to see why so many people enjoy this food.
