You’ve heard Bruce talking about this all over the gym.

People look at him (usually with disgust) and think….SERIOUSLY???…Sardines?

Well, here are the facts!!  So, choose for yourself if sardines are worth it….

Nutrition
Sardines are loaded with nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are vital for overall well being. Besides being an important protein source, sardines contain high amount of other nutritional elements given below:

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids: These nutrients play a crucial role in protecting the heart from various diseases. These unsaturated fatty acids help to increase good cholesterol, lower high blood pressure, as well as prevent formation of blood clots, which has been often linked to heart attacks. Omega 3 essential fatty acids help to improve skin texture and prevents wrinkle formation, thereby keeping the beauty of the skin intact for years to come.

Vitamin D: Sardines are rich in vitamin D, which helps to absorb calcium. In other words, vitamin D is very essential to maintain healthy blood calcium levels that form the basis for proper bone growth.

Vitamin B12: For a healthy nervous system, intake of vitamin B12 is very much essential. Sufficient intake of vitamin B12 boosts energy levels. Your body needs to absorb vitamin B12 to produce healthy blood cells.

Calcium: The calcium in sardines work to keep the bones healthy. In order to maximize bone strength, along with exercise, sufficient calcium intake is equally important. Calcium deficiency is the main reason behind development of bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Phosphorus: Sardines are one of the few foods rich in phosphorus. This is one of the sardines health benefits that cannot be neglected. Phosphorus maximizes the kidney’s ability to excrete waste properly. Also, for normal teeth and bone formation, it is essential to eat phosphorus sources such as sardines.
