Benefits of Eating Seafood
Eating seafood is beneficial for your health for several reasons, including its Omega-3 fatty acids, low fat, and high protein content. It is also an excellent source of protein, which helps reduce the risk of certain diseases. Scientists have found that the health benefits of eating seafood far outweigh any concerns about food safety.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood are known to have protective effects on heart health. In fact, a new study has confirmed that eating seafood may lower the risk of heart disease. The report from the Institute of Medicine (the subsidiary of the National Academy of Sciences) reviewed several studies that concluded that a higher seafood intake may help prevent heart disease. However, the report emphasized that the link between omega-3 fatty acids and heart health is still unclear.
High protein
Eating seafood is a great way to get the high protein benefits you need. Several studies have shown that seafood consumption can reduce the risk of certain diseases. In addition, the high-quality protein found in seafood is beneficial for many bodily functions, including the nervous system and the brain. It is also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
Low fat
Eating seafood is an excellent way to improve your health and prevent a variety of ailments. High in protein and low in saturated fat, seafood lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other common ailments. It can also reduce symptoms of arthritis and joint pain. Eating seafood regularly may also help prevent the development of age-related macular degeneration and autoimmune diseases.
Lower risk of heart disease
Eating seafood may help you reduce your risk of heart disease. Consuming at least one serving per week of seafood has been linked to lower cardiovascular events, including heart attacks, strokes, and cardiac-related deaths. The risk of heart disease is higher for people with a history of heart disease, but eating seafood regularly can lower the risk.
Lower risk of eye disorders
Eating seafood can reduce the risk of eye disorders, particularly for young children. It can help the retina and nerves develop. Eating seafood is especially important for children as malnutrition increases the risk of developing eye problems. However, only 20 percent of American adults consume this recommended amount of seafood each week. The proportion is even lower for people living in Indiana.
Lower risk of Alzheimer’s
Eating seafood may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other brain changes. However, some seafood is high in mercury, which can accumulate in the brain and damage nerves. However, researchers found no evidence that eating fish with higher mercury levels caused dementia-related brain changes in older adults.
