Impact On Health
According to the Canoe.Ca, Fish
provides a lean source of low-calorie,
high quality protein. It's also low in
saturated fats and cholesterol,
making it a heart-healthy food
choice. Salmon is especially high in
omega-3 fatty acids, which are
linked to improved cholesterol levels,
lowered blood pressure, and
decreased risk of abnormal heart
rhythms.

Reflection

I learned sushi was invented in the 8th century.

It spread to Japan from China. This an example
of cultural diffusion.
its easy to make sushi.
I would recommend this food to everyone
who hasnt tried it before!!!

Closing Question
How is sushi an example
of cultural diffusion?
