Which fish head is best for brain health?

Introduction: Professor Yang Li from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences introduces that the meat of a carp head is tender and nutritious. Besides containing protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B1, it also contains lecithin, which is lacking in fish meat.

This substance is metabolized by the body into choline, which is then synthesized into acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of the most important "neurotransmitters" for transmitting information between neurons chemically, which can enhance memory, thinking, and analytical abilities, making people smarter. The carp head is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are particularly important for brain development, making brain cells exceptionally active and greatly enhancing reasoning and judgment. Therefore, eating carp head regularly can not only nourish the brain but also delay mental decline. The meat under the gills of the carp head is in a transparent, gelatinous state and is rich in collagen, which can combat human aging and repair body cell tissues. When cooking a carp head, it must be thoroughly cooked to ensure safety. After washing the fish head, soaking it in light salt water can also remove the muddy smell. Carp head is best stewed with ingredients like tofu, ham, and cabbage for a delicious and nutritious meal.

The meat of the Spanish mackerel is delicate and nutritious, with 19 grams of protein and 2.5 grams of fat per 100 grams of fish. Spanish mackerel dumplings, fish balls, smoked Spanish mackerel, and braised Spanish mackerel are popular ways to eat it. In fact, the tail of the Spanish mackerel is the real delicacy. The tail contains a lot of marrow, which is very delicious to eat, and is also rich in collagen. In addition, Spanish mackerel also has therapeutic functions such as refreshing the mind and preventing aging. Regular consumption can have a certain auxiliary effect in treating anemia, premature aging, malnutrition, postpartum weakness, and neurasthenia.
