Sardines stand out for their remarkable nutritional value, especially for their high content of phosphorus, an essential mineral for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, as well as being key in the processes of energy storage and utilization in the body.
Nutritionists assert that a single can of sardines can provide up to 68% of the daily phosphorus requirement, making them a highly recommended food for those looking to strengthen their bone structure or prevent conditions such as osteoporosis.
This benefit is complemented by their richness in omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, known for their fundamental role in heart and brain health. These essential lipids help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and enhance cognitive functions such as memory and mood. Various studies link their regular consumption with a lower prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.
A standard serving of sardines can cover approximately 50% of the recommended daily intake of omega-3, as well as 53% of the necessary vitamin D.
Vitamin D, for its part, is crucial for proper calcium absorption, strengthening the immune system, and emotional regulation. Its presence in sardines is especially valuable for people with limited sun exposure, such as those living in cold areas or with little natural light, where deficiency of this nutrient is more common.
