Women Fitness brings you top 10 reasons to eat a variety of fish and shellfish as part of a balanced diet.
#1 Fish Is An Excellent Low-fat Food
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in all seafood, including shellfish, oysters, and shrimp. Most shellfish and white-fleshed fish like flounder and even some dark-fleshed fish like yellow-fin tuna contain less total fat than any other form of animal protein. 60% of the brain's solid matter is composed of essential fatty acids. Omega-3 fats found in cold-water fish make up a large portion of the communicating membranes of the brain. Brain cells must constantly refresh themselves with a new supply of fatty acids. DHA is a particular omega-3 fatty acid found in fish that appears to boost brain development.
#2 A Great Source Of Protein, Vitamins, And Minerals including vitamins A and D, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, and iodine in marine fish. Its protein - like that of meat - is easily digestible and favourably complements dietary protein provided by cereals and legumes that are typically consumed in many developing countries. Calcium is an added bonus offered by canned salmon. The bones in canned salmon are soft and edible making canned salmon an excellent source of dietary calcium, which is vital in the fight against osteoporosis.
#3 The Oils In Fish Are Important For Unborn And Breastfed Babies
