The Hype About Omega-3’s

We could focus on the dangers of eating trans fats but we’d rather get out the truth about seafood, which is generally rich in omega-3 fatty acids. When you eat the seafood version of omega-3 fats, you get terrific benefits to help you with your healthy eating resolution.

The many benefits of omega-3’s:

Increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels
Triglycerides and inflammation are decreased by omega-3s when you eat more seafood
Essential for brain development and cell turnover
May help prevent cancer
When you eat more seafood for the omega-3s, your sleep will likely improve
May protect against depression
Increased satiety

Add More Seafood to Your Diet

To provide self-motivation for adding more seafood to your diet, get creative in the kitchen! Have you tried an air fryer yet? Fish is great cooked in an air fryer, but it can also be grilled or cooked in a cast iron skillet. Seafood can be baked, steamed, barbecued, braised, and/or poached. Sure, seafood enthusiasts generally love a good fish fillet. But what about making fish tacos, shrimp stir fry, or salmon burgers?

A wide variety of herbs can delightfully jazz up your seafood dishes. Have you tried fresh herbs such as tarragon, chives, turmeric, thyme, oregano, cumin, parsley, smoked paprika, ginger, or basil in your seafood recipes? Herbs can be game-changers.
