5 Health Benefits of Eating More Seafood
How much seafood do you consume in an average week? Month?
In a time when we’re all concerned about health and trying to build our immune systems, did you know that eating more seafood can actually do wonders to boosting your overall health? Of course it’s not an exact science, but here are a few of the health benefits associated with simply eating more seafood brought to you by Chamberlain’s Steak & Chop House – home of the best fresh seafood in Addison:
Prevent Heart Attacks & Strokes
This is the health benefit most of us have heard about! Many types of fish are very heart healthy! We can thank Omega-3 fatty acids for this statement, as these “good fats” help build our HDL cholesterol levels and cancel out the “bad” LDL cholesterol. Fish like Salmon, Tuna, and Trout are high in heart-protecting Omega-3s.
Reduce Risk of Depression
Research has shown that those who eat fish regularly are much less likely to be depressed. Why is this so? Once again, researchers believe the Omega-3s are a great support for your brain health, and when added to your diet, can help ward off signs of depression and might even support In making anti-depressant medicines more effective.
Superior Brain Health
As we age, our brains just don’t function as nimbly as they did when we were younger. However, research has shown that people who eat more seafood actually have more “grey matter” in our brain – that’s the part of the brain that regulates our memory and emotional state. That’s good news if you enjoy eating the best fresh seafood in Addison, like our Almond Crusted East Coast Flounder or the Miso Glazed Mahi Mahi!
Supports a Well-Balanced Diet
Have some nutritional deficiencies? Eating more fish can help! Many Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, a vitamin that aids in everything from immune support to supporting bone health, and fish has it in spades! Other nutrients include tons of protein and iodine, among others.
Get Better Sleep
Studies have found a correlation between a better night’s rest and those that eat more fish. The link is assumed to be because of the high quantities of Vitamin D in fish that aid in regulating hormones in the body.
