Health Benefits of Eating Seafood

We know as the calendar moves from spring to summer, everyone starts craving seafood. We love the creaminess of an oyster, the sound of a cracked lobster and the smell of a baked clam. But, did you know seafood has health benefits as well?

The Dish on Fish

For starters, seafood is full of vitamins, especially B (B12, biotin, B1 and B3) and D. Vitamin B provides the body with lots of energy and helps to increase your metabolism, while Vitamin D maintains bone strength. There are other fish, such as salmon, rich in vitamin A and calcium, which encourages bone growth. Seafood is also rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which is great for heart health. Another benefit of seafood is healthier hair and brighter skin.

Although people with oily skin may think eating seafood will make their skin worse, the vitamins and minerals in fish nurtures a glowing complexion.

One of the most significant benefits of seafood is that it helps boost brainpower. Research studies have shown that people who eat seafood have a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Infants and children who eat seafood have more active brain function and there are studies showing a decrease in depression in adults. No one is exactly sure why, perhaps these nutrients increase the production of serotonin, which elevates ones mood and keeps sadness at bay. Ever hear the phrase,“HAPPY AS A CLAM.”

Lastly, we cannot forget our beloved oyster. Eat Oysters Love Longer.
