HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING FISH AND CHIPS

It is important to include fish and chips within an healthy diet. Fish and chips are a valuable source of protein, fibre, iron and vitamins.

Fish is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Nutrition experts agree we should be eating a minimum of two portions of seafood every week, at least one of which should be a good source of omega 3.

Haddock is rich in vitamin A and B, and provides a significant amount of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine and iron. Haddock provide a tasty and low calorie meal option.

You can get a third of your daily vitamin C from a portion of chips. Thick chips absorb less oil than thin ones, so chunky chips are healthier.

A portion of fish and chips contains less than 10% fat (9.4% on average). With a portion of Mushy peas included this would reduce to less than 6% (and peas contain no gluten, no cholesterol - but essential fibre and vitamins and also constitute one of our ’ 5 a day’ ).

The British Nutrition foundation confirms that an average portion of battered fish and chips contains three times less fat than a chicken tikka masala and pilau rice, which is loaded with a staggering 59.9g fat. A Chinese takeaway of sweet and sour pork with egg-fried rice weighs in with 38.6g fat, nearly double the content of fish and chips. An average portion of battered fish & chips has fewer calories, at least half the saturated fat and just a tenth of the salt of a cheese and tomato pizza.

Fish & Chips is amongst the least processed takeaway food available.

CHIPS HELP BEAT CANCER!

The humble chip has long been dismissed as a junk food which should be left out of a healthy diet.

Chips are rich in vitamin C which boffins believe battle killer cancer. It is thought the vitamin tackles dangerous free radicals which are associated with cancer growth.

By scoffing a portion of chips – which contains five times more vitamin C than a bunch of grapes – Brits may keep cancer at bay. And those already suffering with the disease could even shrink the size of their tumours with a vitamin C rich, deep-fried potato diet.

Nutritionist Fiona Hunter said: “Chips give vitamin C, which is an important nutrient believed to help protect against certain types of cancer. People who eat food rich in vitamin C are much less likely to suffer from cancer of the oesophagus, cancer of the stomach and breast cancer. ‘’

Free radicals are very unstable molecules which can cause damage within the body and are linked to several different types of cancer.

Chips contribute vitamin C, which is a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralises the free radicals and stops them from damaging us.

A 175g portion of chips contains three times more vitamin C than an apple and nine times more than a slice of pizza, say researchers.

Scientists reported that vitamin C reduced tumours in mice with aggressive brain, ovarian and pancreatic cancers by 53%. Chips also contain a host of other nutrients including vitamins B1, B6, fibre and iron.

Potatoes help to control blood pressure and they have got dietary fibre which is good for your bowels.

In fact, when you compare them to other foods, you find they provide much more goodness than pasta and rice.
