THEY HELP BONES
Anchovy protein is useful for combating sarcopenia in the elderly and for athletes. Vitamin D, with the abundant calcium in anchovies (147mg in 100g), helps bones and is recommended for those with osteoarticular problems.
THEY ARE ANTIOXIDANTS
Vitamin A makes anchovies an excellent food in reducing oxidative stress due to the abundance of selenium, a mineral contained in many of the body’s enzymes. Other minerals present in anchovies are zinc, iodine and phosphorus.
