Catch up on health

TWO-THIRDS of people are putting their health at risk by not eating enough fish.

Medical experts advise that everyone should eat fish at least twice a week – including one portion of oily fish such as salmon or tuna.

But 64 per cent of people do not meet this target, a UK poll by YouGov found. Fish and shellfish are good sources of vitamins and minerals and are far lower in fat than any form of meat.

Oily fish is also particular­ly high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have huge benefits to the heart and brain.
