Life Fit Chat with Laura Lewis: Sushi Choices for Lower Mercury

Life Fit Chat with That's Fit Life Fit Expert Laura Lewis brings conversation provoking tidbits to your table, served up with a touch of spice! Byte-sized information that pack some punch, brought to you every Wednesday and Thursday!

I really enjoy the ritual involved with eating sushi. My current boyfriend professed his interest in me while looking in my eyes leaning over a bowl of seaweed salad. I find it sort of romantic. Then again, I am not a hard-core sushi eater. I refer to my self as a "weenie" sushi eater. No, I don't go for the octopus, things with eyeballs evident or anything remotely moving. I know, it's a cultural thing, and I don't have judgment about it. It's just not MY thing! I order things like cooked egg, avocado and California rolls, double shrimp rolls ... nothing raw. I am a bit nervous about parasites invading my body as well as the negative health effects of ingesting fish high in mercury.

But I don't want to be the one who ruins the party! Being aware of what types of fish are lower in mercury and those that are higher would be helpful, right? Here is a list of fish you would find on a sushi menu with mercury levels listed. Since mercury can act as a neurotoxin, I find this list helpful. How about you? Would you rather mindlessly indulge on sushi and not worry? Or, will you become a more cautious sushi eater?
