Fish and its benefits for school children
Fish is an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals that promote healthy growth and development in children. In addition, some species have significant levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for promoting cognitive development, which is extremely important at this stage of life. In addition, fish is generally low in fat and calories, making it a healthy and light option for everyday meals.
