29 Jan Health Benefits of Sustainably Sourced Seafood
How healthy is your diet?
What you eat is extremely important for your overall health because your body needs a variety of nutrients to function properly. If you’re looking for ways to improve your nutrition habits, adding a fish to your diet is a great way to start. The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans highlights the importance of consuming an average of 8 ounces of seafood per week.
Before you eat your fish, make sure that you’re supporting a company that cares about its responsibilities to the environment. At Eastern Fish, we are proactively promoting sustainable standards as part of our obligation to environmental leadership.
Health Benefits of Seafood
According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the consumption of seafood “is associated with reduced cardiac deaths among individuals with and without preexisting cardiovascular disease”. The report also indicates that fish consumption by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can improve infant health.
Did you know that seafood is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids? Altogether, these nutrients can help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and heart attacks.
