Many people believe that since roach is cheap, it cannot be a healthy food. But this opinion is in fact deeply mistaken. The meat of this fish contains 19% protein, 0.4% fat and 0% carbohydrates. Roach protein is absorbed by the human body much better than beef protein. The low fat content and the complete absence of carbohydrates allow this fish to be used in the diet of people suffering from diabetes and / or obesity.
Roach contains a large amount of vitamins A, C, B1, B2, PP and E. It is also rich in various macro- and microelements: nickel, chlorine, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium, molybdenum, fluorine. Only 100.0 g of roach meat can meet by one third the needs of an adult for vitamins PP and A, as well as fully cover the need for chromium.
Although there is very little fat in roach meat, it is valuable for humans, because contains polyunsaturated fatty acids with pronounced antioxidant properties. Due to these properties, polyunsaturated fatty acids play an important role in preventing the development of such serious diseases as stroke, cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction, cancer. In addition, they prevent premature aging of the body.

For comparison: canned fish in the same amount contains only 0.8 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
In women, the process of assimilation of these acids is much better than in men. Therefore, even a small amount of eaten roach has a beneficial effect on their body. And if you also take into account the low calorie content of roach, it becomes clear how important this fish is, especially for the fairer sex.
