Sea bream is a fish rich in nutrients beneficial for the body. It contains a high amount of proteins essential for muscle building and overall body health. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which improve heart health and lower bad cholesterol levels. Additionally, it provides vitamins such as vitamin D, essential for bone health, and vitamin B12, necessary for the nervous system's functions. Other benefits include enhancing skin and hair health. However, its downside is the potential presence of mercury, so it is advised to consume it in moderation, especially for pregnant women and children.
