THE VALUE OF FISH

Fish is one of the most valuable forms of food, cox-

taining the same constituents as Meat but in a more dig
estible form.

It contains a very high percentage of Proteins which
are the most important single food constituent. They are
especially rich in natural Vitamins, and contain an abund-
ance of minerals necessary to vigorous health and growth.

In comparison with other foods, Fish requires very
littie cooking to make the flesh tender and easily digesti-
ble.

Fish contains Vitamin D which is vital to proper
bone formation, and is sometimes known as the Sunshine
Vitamin. It also conatains Vitamin A which promotes
growth and enables the body to resist disease. Calcium,
Phosphate, Iron, Copper, Iodine and Sulphur are some of
the more important Minerals needed by both young and
old for the development, growth and maintenance of bone
structure.

Salt water fish, because of its iodine content, is a
great preventative of such a disease as Goitre.
