Modern
nutritional guidelines recommend the inclusion of one or more seafood
meals each week for good health.
Healthy Omega 3
Oils
Most
seafood contains Omega 3 polyunsaturated oil, an oil which is unique to
seafood. Omega 3 oils assist in blood circulation by lowering blood fats
and preventing blood clot formation . This aids blood circulation and
researchers believe it reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Research also indicates the Omega 3 oil in fish acts as an
anti-inflammatory agent and so may reduce the risk of a wide range of
health problems, including asthma, pulmonary disease, rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.
High in Protein
and low in Fat and cholesterol
A
single serve of fish or other seafood (150 grams) provides 50%-60% of
daily protein needs for an adult.
High in Vitamins
and Minerals
Seafood
is an excellent source of vitamins including iodine which is essential
for the thyroid gland functioning, iron for red cell formation and zinc
is required for wound healing. They are especially rich in niacin,
essential for a healthy skin and for the release of energy in the body
and vitamin B complex needed for metabolic processes. Oysters, mussels
and scallops are excellent sources of iron and zinc.
