How healthy is fish for a teen?

[Ampresus]

Hello everyone. I only recently started making changes to my diet and this popped up in my head. What about fish? Leo talks a lot about how you should eat a lot of veggies and when I asked for advice here, people told me that I shouldn't eat meat too much. But what about fish? In my biology class I learnt that fish is very healthy and that I should eat it twice a week.

Now I call bullshit. In that same biology class I learnt how one should eat enough bread. Considering the perspective everyone on this forum has on bread, I don't think that is great advice to follow. Of course then the question is whether I should trust whatever stuff my government has put in our education system or an online forum.

So, back to the main topic of this post. How healthy is fish for me, a teen? Should I eat it twice a week like my biology book adviced me to?

@Ampresus Relative to what? Pizza and fries?

Questions of healthiness are always relative to what you're comparing to.

And canned tuna ain't the same thing as fresh wild Alaskan salmon.

The biggest concern with fish is heavy metal toxicity. You shouldn't eat too much of it.

Stay away from predatory fish like swordfish, tuna, mackerel, shark, bass, etc. as they contain the most heavy metals. Smaller fish are generally safer than bigger fish.

@Michael569 Thanks for the advice. How much a week would you think is healthy to eat fish? Like once a week or maybe two times a week?

@Ampresus  If an Enlightened being told you, that you should eat fish twice a day, would you listen?

@bejapuskas No because an enlightened being doesn’t always have a full understanding of other aspects in life (such as nutrition)
