Due to its high levels of Omega 3, the consumption of blue fish (beautiful, mackerel, jurel and anchovy) helps prevent and counteract type 2 diabetes.

To eat fish not only should be the name of a program of the Ministry of Production.To eat fish should be a slogan and a custom that goes beyond the celebratory cebiche or that parihuela that lifts the spirits.

And it is not that we intend to write an apology on the consumption of the rich fish.What we want is to inform, disseminate and remember, as the nutritionist D´Janira Páucar did a few days ago, which, for example, the consumption of the so -called blue fish, such as the beautiful, the mackerel, the jurel and the anchovy, allowCombat and control diabetes.

Páucar, professional of the aforementioned program of the Ministry of Production, explained, on World Diabetes Day held on Monday, that the Omega 3 of these species increases adiponectin levels, a hormone that helps reduce glucose in the blood and preventthe risk of developing insulin resistance.

"The Omega 3," he also added, "also improves the insulin ability to convert glucose into energy, an action necessary for the proper functioning of the organism."

Finally, the nutritionist recommended to avoid frying fish, as cooking generates harmful elements for the body that can lead to chronic diseases.The best preparation methods are: baked, sanctioned, steamed, grilled, or iron.
