Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sardine (Raw)

  • Metabolic Effect: Thanks to its high protein content, it provides long-term satiety and supports muscle development. The omega-3 fatty acids it contains protect heart health and improve brain functions.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Since raw sardine consumption can be risky, it is recommended to consume it marinated or with lemon juice. Consuming it with a salad with plenty of greens increases vitamin and mineral intake.
  • Things to Consider: Since raw fish consumption carries a risk of parasites, it should be obtained from reliable sources and stored properly. Pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems should avoid consuming raw fish.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from Sardine (Raw), you need to walk at a brisk pace for about 20 minutes. Alternatively, 10 minutes of running or 25 minutes of cycling can provide the same effect.
