Many people are becoming more aware of their health and the food they eat as the New Year approaches. Healthy food will not only make you look and feel better, but it can also help you feel great. Here’s where seafood comes in.
Seafood is not only low in bad stuff but also full of good stuff. Seafood is rich in nutrients like vitamin B, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin A. Tuna, for example, is rich in vitamin D which is good for your bones and immune system.
Seafood Can Boost Your Brain
We all could benefit from some extra brain power, let’s face it. Good news: Omega-3s found in seafood can help with this. They can improve brain development in children and adults, and they can also boost cognitive function in older women. This is some powerful stuff.
Seafood Is Good for Your Heart
Both men and women of all ages need to be healthy in their hearts. Seafood is rich in protein and has low levels of saturated fat. It also contains omega 3s which can help improve heart health and reduce the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease.
Seafood Can Help You Maintain Your Eyesight
Seafood and your eyesight are all about Omega 3 fatty acids. Regular consumption of seafood can help prevent vision loss and improve vision. Fun fact: Shellfish and fish can also improve your night vision.
Seafood Can Give You Better Skin
Who doesn’t love nourished, moisturized, youthful-looking skin? Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in seafood can moisturize the skin and reduce the risk of skin cancer. However, we recommend sunscreen if you’re spending time at Pool House.
The Seafood Can Help Combat Depression
Recent research into omega-3 fatty acids (found in seafood) and depression has shown that eating seafood can help reduce depression risk and can even treat it. It can also improve your outlook and make you feel happier.
