Fresh Seafood - A New Cure-all? |
|
Though it has been known for a long time that eating fresh seafood is good for you health, the exact reason why it is so has not been easy to figure out...until recently. Though fish (and other types of fresh seafood) are high in protein and low in fat, this is not the whole answer to the mystery of what makes them such a healthy dietary choice. With the advent of new technologies, however, and the discovery of omega-3 fatty acids and their key role to various aspects of human health, the benefits of enjoying a diet rich in, for instance, lobster meat or other kinds of fresh seafood suddenly became far more tangible. The omega-3 acids fatty acids begin their nigh miraculous activity during the fetal stage. The building of the human brain, nerve, and retina tissue requires Docosahexaenoic acid -- an omega-3 acid found in lobster meat and other seafoods. Research has indicated a pregnant mother's intake of fresh seafood with low mercury can facilitate the development of a human infant's intelligence. Research has shown that a diet high in omega-3 will confer health advantages prenatally which persist after birth. Children eating such a diet develop less asthma and fewer cases of airway inflammation. Since live lobster and king crab are excellent sources of omega-3, adults will enjoy getting their regular dose. Fresh seafood is an excellent source of nutrients and a delicious way to stay healthy. The Omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood guard against strokes and a range of cardiovascular diseases while enhancing eye and brain functions. Thus, they can slow down mental deterioration and allow consumers to continue to enjoy an extended healthy and active lifestyle. Studies have even shown that fresh seafood can reduce depression and susceptibility to breast cancer in women who have just given birth. Furthermore, fish contains more than just one advisable substance. Vitamin D they are also rich in offers potent anti-cancer and bone-building properties, while Astaxanthin, a powerful anti-oxidant found in salmon and giving it the characteristic orange color, confers a host of documented health advantages. It is well known that to use natural ingredients easily found in food items agrees with the most innovative trends in medicine and with the idea that it is easier to prevent diseases than to cure them. Therefore, enjoy.
