Things we need to know about Seafoods

Many people love seafood – maybe because most of it has an appetizing taste. Aside from that, seafood has also a high level of numerous important nutrients that cannot be found in other food. Seafood is comestible marine fish and shellfish that are good sources of protein, vitamins and minerals. It is also a nutrient-dense food, and others consider it as the best source of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, and omega 3 fatty acids.

Shellfish like lobster, crayfish, shrimps and crabs are more nutritious than fish. Oily fish like sardines and anchovies are more nutritious than other fish but these kinds of fishes are prone to toxicity and have a small sustainability. Recent study has shown that marine omega 3 can help to protect eyesight especially for those who suffer from age related macular degeneration. Epidemiological studies states that eating seafood can lower the frequency of depression because of its nutrients that we get from it. In addition, seafood is also good for pregnant women because it helps in the good fetal development (fetus growth) and neurological development. Nevertheless, crab is good for those who have arthritis because of its high omega 3. If you are a person who undergoes balanced diet, seafood is good food to eat because it contributes to good nutritional status.

However, other people are not allowed to eat seafood because of their allergies and some other illness. After reading some information about seafood, I discovered that it is healthy, but we just have to eat it properly. The main problem of most of us is being abusive. We abuse our health by too much eating. Remember that anything that is too much is bad. We have to put in our mind that food is created for us to enjoy it. We just need to be responsible of dealing with it.
