Self Magazine listed some of the nutritious benefits of eating sushi:
- “Improve your immunity.” The seaweed in rolls called nori is high in vitamin C.
- “Whittle your waist.” Ask for brown rice to get 3x the fiber and to stay full longer.
- “Treat your ticker.” Eat rolls with wild salmon for heart-healthy omega-3s and a low dose of mercury.
- “Curb cancer.” Research shows ginger may encourage ovarion cancer cells to “self destruct.”
- “Aid your smile.” The chemicals (isothiocyanates) that make wasabi hot can actually kill germs that cause tooth decay.
