What are the benefits and how can trout be harmful?

Trout has a very good effect on brain activity, increases performance, reduces fatigue, improves memory and attention. This product is able to protect against the development of atherosclerosis, reduces nervousness and anxiety, fights stress, and has a preventive effect against the development of cancer. Eating this fish helps the body get rid of waste and toxins, correct blood pressure, and improve the general condition of diabetes and psoriasis. What makes trout a very popular product is its hypoallergenic nature. The special amount of KBJU makes this fish simply irreplaceable for people who are being treated for obesity or simply want to keep their body weight under control.

There is very little harm from trout, but several breeds of fish sometimes contain mercury, which can be dangerous for pregnant and breastfeeding women, so it is not advisable for them to eat a lot of it.

People who experience heavy physical activity may become deficient in energy and nutritional value due to the low calorie content of trout. Therefore, they need to combine this product with side dishes that are high in carbohydrates and calories and keep track of the BJU. And it’s best to bake or fry fish.

Important! Patients suffering from severe and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and internal organs (liver, kidneys) should definitely consult with their doctor about including trout and BJU in the diet, especially breeds with high fat content.

Contraindications and harm

Contraindications for consumption and harm to trout for health are primarily related to the ability of seafood products to accumulate heavy metals such as mercury. This element, even in the smallest quantities, is harmful to the body, so it is not recommended to overuse fish. A sufficient frequency of trout consumption is up to 3 meals per week.

In addition, you should avoid red fish:

if there is an individual intolerance to the product or an allergic reaction;
during lactation and pregnancy, women should refrain from eating trout, especially salted, as salt retains fluid in the body and aggravates the swelling already present during pregnancy;
You should not eat raw fish - the product may be affected by parasites, so heat treatment is required;
If you have diseases of the liver or gastrointestinal tract, eating red fish is contraindicated;
eating salted or fried trout is contraindicated in case of cardiac ischemia, hypertension or atherosclerosis;
to lose weight, you need to give up salted trout, as it retains fluid in the body;
Salty foods should be avoided if you have kidney disease, since salt in the body will increase the amount of fluid consumed, which will lead to additional stress on the organ.

It is important to know: some varieties of fish are capable of accumulating mercury in greater quantities than others, but in order not to remember all varieties, it is enough to remember the general rule: the larger the fish, the higher the content of heavy metals in the meat. Brook trout is one of the fish species that accumulates mercury in lower quantities.

Selection and storage of trout

Fresh chilled trout should feel firm to the touch and the scales should be slippery. The fish's eyes will appear clear and not covered with a dull veil, and the gills will be a bright dark red hue. A fresh carcass should not have any unpleasant odors, even fishy ones. This product cannot be stored for a long time and is best prepared immediately. As a last resort, fresh fish can be stored in the refrigerator, but not longer than a day.

If you need to increase the shelf life of trout, it is better to freeze it. Then all its beneficial substances and taste characteristics will be preserved.

There are many breeds and varieties of trout. There is a difference in appearance, chemical composition and even in habitat (sea, river, stream, lake). If a person needs to increase efficiency and gain strength, then it is better to eat fatty sea trout. And when the goal is to lose weight, then nutritious river fish is best, especially steamed or boiled.

Advice! When eating sea fish, you must cut off the head, because all the harmful elements contained in the water where this fish lived are concentrated in it.

Trout is a fish of the highest category, because it is found mainly only in clean waters, due to which it has a reputation for being very environmentally beneficial and not polluted.
