Many people eat fish on a regular basis because of its high protein and nutritional content; however, few realize that eating certain types of fish on a regular basis might cause brain damage and issues due to the high levels of mercury that are stored in their bodies.

According to Healthline, consuming mercury over a long period of time can lead to a wide variety of adverse health effects, including dementia, impaired vision and speech, anxiety, depression, and loss of memory, amongst many others. When swallowed through the ingestion of fish that carry the metal element, mercury, which is a toxic metallic element, is extremely deadly and dangerous to the brain. Additionally, mercury has a significant impact on the overall health of the body when it is consumed in this manner.

There is a high probability that some of the fish that are found in these bodies of water have mercury compounds stored in their bodies because they consume things that contain the metallic salt. Since the metal is found in abundance as an inorganic salt compound in the rivers, seas, and ocean, and since a large number of the fish that we consume on a regular basis are obtained from these bodies of water, there is a high probability that this is the case.

In this piece, I'd like to offer some brief commentary on four types of fish that, if consumed regularly, may increase your risk of developing neurological conditions.

1. Swordfish are one of the types of fish that are known to be harmful to the human brain and to be a potential cause of a brain disorder. This is due to the high levels of mercury that are found in swordfish, which range from 0.995 ppm at the lowest value to 3.22 ppm at the highest value on average. The abbreviation ppm stands for "parts per million." These fish are known as predators because of their habit of going for fish of a lower size and can be found in big oceans.
