Having seafood as a regular part of your diet can provide health benefits from its many minerals and important vitamins. Keep reading to learn the six top health reasons for eating crab, fish, lobster, shrimp, and other seafood.
1) Boost Brain Power
Seafood improves your brain’s health over the long term. Studies have shown Omega-3 fatty acids help prevent mental decline and decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease as we grow older. Your brain will also improve its ability to regulate emotions and memory.
2) Ease Joint Pain
Seafood’s Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects that can ease joint pain. Eating fatty fish can especially decrease joint stiffness and arthritis symptoms.
3) Essential Nutrients
High in protein and low in saturated fats, seafood is filled with important nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin B, and Omega-3 fatty acids. They are essential for maintaining health, especially your immune system. Since our bodies are unable to produce Omega-3s, having seafood in your diet is needed to attain optimum health.
4) Healthier Hair and Skin
The Omega-3s and fish oil in seafood help reduce acne and protect against the sun’s ultraviolet rays, leaving you with healthy, moisturized skin. Another benefit is healthier hair.
5) Helps Eyesight
As we age, the chances of gradually losing our eyesight increases. Fortunately, seafood nutrients help because Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the risk of eye diseases. In addition, Vitamin A helps prevent night blindness, which makes driving very dangerous.
6) Promotes Heart Health
Very high in Omega-3 fatty acids, fish like salmon can help maintain a healthy heart. Having fish twice a week can lower the risk of heart attacks as well as strokes.
