Plants have all essential amino's, and with lots of green leafy's on my plate add a few walnuts and teaspoon of flaxseeds i get more than enough of the omega 3's. why do i need to eat a fatty fish
The body can convert ALA omega 3 ( from vegetable sources) into DHA and EPA, but at a very inefficient rate (2â15%). Salmon is also a good source of vitamin D and antioxidents. So now prove how adding fish to your diet is unhealthy, I bet you can't.
Regardless of your theoretical conversion rates, when the serum levels were assayed: "The proportions of plasma long-chain nâ3 fatty acids were not significantly affected by the duration of adherence to a vegetarian or vegan diet. This finding suggests that when animal foods are wholly excluded from the diet, the endogenous production of EPA and DHA results in low but stable plasma concentrations of these fatty acids." http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/82/2/327 Now, again why should I add fatty fish to a healthy plant-based diet? i bet you can't
besides looking great I have super strong muscles where I need them for fun thanks to years of yoga practice
The point is fish in the diet is proven healthy and I haven't read anything to refute that. What you are doing is working for you but that doesn't disprove all other information.
Proven healthy for who? For meat eaters? Substituting fish for meat is always the healthy alternative.
