DHA & EPA From Mackerel

What is the cheapest fish in autumn? Mackerel!

In fact, autumn is the best season to eat mackerel, a fish that was found to contain a very high level of DHA & EPA (please check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid for nutrition details).

The best way to consume mackerel at its best level of DHA & EPA, is to eat it raw or my favorite, is to cook it with spring onions & miso, that way you don't loose a lot of its precious fat, like you would if you grill it.

Why DHA & EPA is good?
1. Brain health -> such as to reduce risk of stroke
2. Cardiovascular health -> such as to reduce risk of heart attack
3. Immunity system -> overall health system

Mackerel caught in autumn has the highest level of DHA & EPA. The nature works in a wonderful way that if we just look for if, we can get to eat the healthiest food every season.
