How healthy is sushi?
Well, from a fellow sushi lover (I just had some awesome sushi last night!) here is the way I see it: PROS: Sushi tastes great! Avocado is very good for you Fish is high in Omega 3’s and fatty acids, which are VERY good for you Vegetables used in sushi (such as cucumber) are very good for you Seaweed used in sushi is very good for you (good for digestion, too) CONS: Sushi Rice is high in processed carboyhydrate – not a help to dieting Fish is the worst monitored food by the USDA, and about 50% of our fish does have live parasites in it (often worms), so it can be dangerous to eat it raw Aside from parasites, most of our fish nowadays is polluted with mercury poisoning, which cooking wouldn’t help anyway. This is why pregnant women are advised to eat NO fish. Mercury is very poisonous!!! Avocado, while being very good for you, is also very high in fat, and even though it’s the “good fat” (which it really is), it’s still high in calories and makes your dieting hard.
