Benefits of Eating Fried Tilapia

May lower cancer risk

A single tilapia fillet provides 88% of your daily value of selenium. Selenium is a mineral that prevents thyroid diseases, cancer and heart disease.  It is important to note that, you only need a small amount of selenium.

Heart health may be guaranteed

Fish is widely known to be a source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 reduces irregular heartbeats, lowers blood pressure, reduces blood clotting and reduces your risk of heart failure and strokes. Tilapia fish is also rich in omega-6 which, one mostly gets from vegetable oil since a human body can’t make it on itself. Omega 6 keeps your blood pressure and cholesterol in control.

Improved bone-strength

Tilapia has nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and phosphorus that can make and maintain bones.

Weight-loss

Tilapia fish can make you feel satisfied without a lot of calories. Since tilapia is a lean source of protein, it can be used as part of meal plan for weight loss. Some studies clearly show that eating fish has been linked to weight loss.

Despite being surrounded by abundant freshwater resources, Kenya faces a challenge : under-consumption of protein,particularly Tilapia fish. Statistics, according to Principal Secretary Blue Economy Betsy Njagi show that Kenyans consume only around 3.5-4 kg per capita income compared to a continental average of 10 Kgs/person/year and a global average of 20 Kgs/person annually ,far below the recommended 12Kg by the World Health Organization(WHO).This deficit translates to a protein gap, leading to under nutrition especially among children and pregnant women.

While red meat remains a popular protein source, its production often comes with a hefty enviromental price tag. Cattle ranching contributes significantly to green house emissions accelerating climate change.

Global Tilapia: A Sustainable Protein Powerhouse

Tilapia is a readily available and affordable freshwater fish and can be a game-changer for Kenyan protein needs. Here’s why:

• Higher Protein, Low Enviromental Impact: Tilapia boasts a complete protein profile, containing all essential amino acids. They are also relatively inexpensive to farm,requring less land and water compared to livestock. Tilapia farming in Kenya generates significantly lower greenhouse emissions making it a more climate-friendly protein choice.
• Combating Undernutrition : Tilapia is rich in essential micronutrients like vitamin B12,iron and zinc crucial for healthy growth and development. Increased tilapia consumption can significantly reduce childhood stunting and improve overall health outcomes.
• Sustainable Aquaculture :The rise of responsible aquaculture practices from Kenyan Tilapia Companies like Global Tilapia allows for tilapia production to meet growing demand without depleting wild fish stocks.

Bridging the protein gap requires a collective effort. Here’s what you can do:

• Embrace Tilapia : Incorporate tilapia fresh from our cage farms in Lake Victoria into your diet! Explore its versatility-fry, bake ,grill ,boil, steam and discover a world of delicious and nutritious recipes.
• Support Local Tilapia Fish Companies In Kenya : Buy tilapia from outlets selling tilapia raised in Kenyan Aquaculture farms such as ours http://shop.globaltilapia.co.ke.This promotes local businesses, create jobs and ensures a sustainable future for Kenyan fisheries.
• Spread Awareness: Talk to friends and family about the importance of protein and the benefits of tilapia. Encourage them to explore this healthy and sustainable protein source.

By making informed choices and supporting responsible practices, Kenyans can leverage tilapia to address undernutrition while safeguarding the environment. Lets work together to ensure a future where everyone has access to the protein they need for a healthy and productive life.
