Why You Should Eat More Seafood

 

Seafood is great for your health in more ways that you could imagine. Not only does seafood taste great but it provides vital nutrients and a hearty dose of protein.

 

1. Reduces Your Risk of a Heart Attack – Heart disease is the leading cause of death among American adults. Luckily, eating a diet that’s rich in fish may help reduce your risk. Studies have shown that eating fatty fish just once or twice a week can reduce your risk of heart-related death by 36%.

 

2. May Improve Your Sleep Quality – when you’re constantly connected, it can be hard to get a good night’s sleep. If you’re struggling to get enough sleep, you may want to stop by your local fishmonger before you reach for the sleeping pills. A recent 6-month study provided subjects with three servings of fish a week, and found improvements in both sleep and daily functioning.

 

3. Enhances Your Brainpower – If you’ve got an exam or an important presentation coming up, you may want to start loading your plate with seafood. Eating seafood that contains omega-3 fatty acids helps improve your memory and increase test scores.

 

4. Seafood is the Best Dietary Source of Vitamin D – You may know that you can get vitamin D from sun exposure, but during the long winter months it’s hard to catch some rays. That’s one of the main reasons that over 40% of the US population is deficient in vitamin D. If you’re inside a lot during the winter, eating a diet rich in fish can help reduce this deficiency. Fish is by far the best dietary source of vitamin D.
