Health benefits of basa fish you may not know !!!

Basa is a familiar fish in Vietnam, and it has significant health benefits. Here are some such benefits, according to The Health Site.

Low Calorie

100g Basa fillet contains only 90 calories. If you're on a diet, Basa fillets can be a good choice, as it takes less than 10 minutes of jogging or swimming to burn these calories.

Moderately high fat

The Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish can do wonders for your health, and Basa contains moderate amounts of these acids.

Specifically, 100g of Basa fillet can provide 4g of fat. About 2.6-6.7% of the fat mass in a serving of Basa fish contains Omega-3 fatty acids. A high intake of these acids, particularly DHA and EPA, helps reduce the risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions.

100g Basa fillet contains 14g protein. This amount is 2 times higher than an egg but with fewer calories.

No carbohydrates

If you want to pursue a low-carbohydrate diet, Basa fillets will be an option. Basa fish fillet has zero carbohydrate level.

Low sodium

Basa fillets are relatively low in sodium, with 50mg per fillet. The recommended daily intake is 2,300mg, so a 100g Basa fillet contains only about 2% of this.
