Do you love eating fish? Including fish in your regular diet is not just for your taste but also offers immense medicinal benefits. If you are suffering from diabetes or experiencing high blood pressure, eating this particular fish can be highly beneficial for your health.
This small fish with a sharp mouth is called Kumula fish. It has a silver body with a light green-yellow tint on its back. It has a slightly high back, is about an inch long, has a short tail, a small fin near its eyes, and a triangular head. It is also convenient to eat, as it has very few scales and bones.
When buying fish in the market, people usually check the scales, but for this fish, it is enough to observe its body structure. If the fish is spoiled or old, its body will have stains.
This fish contains more vitamin D than most other fish, which helps reduce the risk of cancer. It is also rich in vitamins B5 and B6, which are effective in preventing age-related diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism.
It is highly beneficial for diabetics, helps control blood pressure, and protects the body from various diseases. Due to its delicious taste and numerous health benefits, it is sold in the market at a price of Rs 200-250 per kg.
