Benefits

Mackerel is an incredibly rich source of Omega 3 (even more than salmon), a fatty acid with anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular health properties that many people do not consume enough of. Additionally, mackerel contains high levels of vitamins A, B12 & D and Selenium, all nutrients vital for a healthy immune system, along with protein for sustained energy.

Parsley is a rich source of vitamin A and weight for weight has as more vitamin C than oranges. It is rich in carotenoids, phytochemicals that are associated with a lower risk of developing some cancers and heart disease, and improved immunity.
