Eating Seafood Can Be Very Healthy For You
Did you know that eating some delicious fish could help your overall general health? Not only is seafood a great source of protein, it also contains no high saturated fat. Essential Omega 3 fatty acids are also prevalent in seafood. Mackerel, salmon, trout and sardines all have especially high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is an essential component linked to health and well being.
It can prevent cardiovascular disease by reducing the levels of bad cholesterol and lowers blood pressure slightly. It has also been shown to help prevent asthma in children and lowers the risk of prostate cancer. It keeps the early onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s at bay and some studies have shown it even helps with depression! Who knew that instead of a anti-depressent you could just have some baked salmon and be on your way?
A recent study at UCLA showed that a diet lacking in Omega 3 fatty acids may cause the brain to age faster and lose some of its memory and thinking capabilities. It found that people with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids have lower brain volumes — equivalent to approximately two years of structural brain aging.
Omega 3 is also essential in pregnancy and infant development. Fish higher in Omega 3 fatty acids and lower in mercury, like salmon, could be just what the doctor ordered for someone who’s expecting.
So try some good-for-you fish at Catonsville Gourmet, like our Blackened Tuna Club made with Cajun dusted Ahi tuna. Or try our Fried Oyster Sandwich made with hand-breaded local oysters which is flash-fried and served on white bread. We also have sandwiches like the Crab Cake Pretzel Club (served with Applewood bacon) that you have to taste to believe. Let Catonsville Gourmet help you get your daily recommended fill of Omega 3 fatty acids.
