Seafood And Fish For Healthy Choices
By Barry J Smallhorn
When prepared correctly, there is nothing better tasting or healthier
for you than fresh seafood and fish. While white and red meats
are known for their high fat content and artery-clogging cholesterol,
seafood is known to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
It contains heart-friendly oils that have also been shown to
reduce high blood pressure and alleviate circulatory problems.
If you want to cook it at home, then fresh fish and seafood recipes
can be found on many online cooking sites. Next time you dine
out, choose a seafood restaurant and benefit from all that the
ocean has to offer.
Making Healthy Food Choices
In your quest for healthy food choices and good taste, be aware
that the label of fresh seafood may be misleading. It may have
been frozen; it could mean that it was frozen fresh. If you live
in the heartland and have no access to a fresh fish market, then
buying frozen may be the only choice you have for seafood.
There are many tried and true ways to cook seafood and fish,
but it is always best to cook it from a frozen state, as it is
much easier to handle. If you do thaw it, then make sure that
you cook it immediately and never refreeze it.
Cooking Your Fresh Fish
Cooking fish in the oven or under the broiler is the healthiest
way to prepare it. You can also use the frying pan method, but
you will need butter or oil to prevent it from sticking. Fish
seafood is especially tasty on the grill. Just wrap it in foil
to seal in moisture and flavor.
Fresh seafood and fish are low in fat and high in protein, which
makes them very good for you. Choosing a diet rich in seafood
is considered a very smart and healthy thing to do. Heart disease
and high blood pressure respond favorably to a diet loaded with
fish.
Studies have shown that when women eat less red meat and more
seafood, they are less likely to get breast cancer. If you have
no interest in cuisine seafood because of the taste or you are
allergic to it, then review your options and consider taking a
fish oil supplement, which can give you some of the benefits.
