Wild-caught fish naturally contain higher levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats — essential for brain, heart, and metabolic health.
But here’s the bigger issue ⬇️
🌊 Our oceans now contain microplastics.
Those plastics break down and can carry “forever chemicals” (PFAS) — compounds that accumulate in the body and are extremely difficult to eliminate.
Farmed fish add another layer of concern:
• Crowded conditions
• Antibiotic exposure
• Lower omega-3 content
• Higher omega-6 inflammatory fats
Choosing wild-caught doesn’t eliminate environmental exposure — but it reduces additional farming-related risks and improves fat quality.
Best choices:
🐟 Wild salmon
🐟 Sardines
🐟 Mackerel
🐟 Anchovies
