Eating salted fish is one of the habits that many people are keen on during the celebration of Sham El-Nessim, without knowing its relationship to weight gain.
Research indicates that eating large amounts of salted fish contributes to an increase in body weight, according to a report published by the National Library of Medicine website in the United States of America.
The role of salted fish in weight gain is that it leads to fluid retention in the body, which results in weight gain. Salted fish also contributes to reducing fat burning in the body in a way that over time leads to its accumulation, especially in the abdominal area.
In addition to containing sodium, which contributes to weight gain, the Kingdom’s fish containing high calories goes in the same direction, but in all cases this can be avoided by eating small quantities and at separate intervals so as not to have a cumulative effect on body weight.
