\"sushi\"<\/a>
\nWith so many options–some doused in sauces and coated in rice–it is difficult to know which sushi options are the most healthy. Dr. Suneil Jain, NMD, naturopathic physician and the founder\/owner of Rejuvena Health & Aesthetics, has offered up some “dos” and “don’ts” when it comes to ordering sushi–in the healthiest way.
\nExperts say that like all fish, sushi gives you a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein<\/em>
\nDo: Eat sashimi, slices of raw fish accessorized with veggies
\nDon\u2019t: Order maki and nigiri. Both often wrapped in white rice is not so healthy because it gives you fast carbohydrates instead of a nutritious, filling meal
\nLike all foods, if it\u2019s fried or smothered in sauce, it\u2019s not healthy<\/em>
\nDo: Order rolls with plenty of fish and sea vegetables. Have it wrapped in brown rice or request no wrap at all
\nDon\u2019t: If it\u2019s deep-fried like the famous Vegas roll or comes swimming in a mayo-based sauce, stay away
\nSushi is raw, so it\u2019s not for everyone, be careful of where it is sourced from <\/em>
\nDo: Choose a well-run restaurant with a good reputation and be careful of the source of the fish
\nDon\u2019t: If you have immune deficiency like the elderly or chronically ill and if you are pregnant, stay away from raw sushi. Also, everyone should be cautious of store-bought sushi. Its longer shelf life gives bacteria more of an opportunity to flourish and one study found that almost half of the 58 samples of grocery store sushi contained unsatisfactory levels of bacteria
\nYes, you still need to worry about mercury<\/em>
\nDo: Eat small-bodied fish that are lower on the food chain because they have less mercury and are more sustainable because they have a lower chance of being farmed. Things with two shells like scallops, clams and oysters have some of the highest omega-3 levels and are raised more sustainably
\nDon\u2019t: Unfortunately, three of the most popular items \u2013 tuna, salmon and shrimp \u2013 are usually not fished or farmed sustainably. They may have higher levels of mercury and lower levels of nutrients
\nTraditional soy sauce contains gluten, an ingredient many people have sensitivity to<\/em>
\nDo: Research ahead of time by calling the restaurant and asking if they have a gluten-free soy sauce option
\nDon\u2019t: Assume that all other sauces are gluten-free. Many eel sauces also contain gluten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With so many options–some doused in sauces and coated in rice–it is difficult to know which sushi
