Seafood is low in fat and high in protein and also contains high levels of essential nutrients, minerals and oils which lead to a healthier diet such as: Calcium, Iodine, Vitamin D, Iron, Vitamin B12, Zinc, and Selenium. Seafood is high in Omega-3 fatty acids called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), long chain omega-3s’. Essentially, Omega-3's are 'good fats' which help lower levels of triglycerides in the blood (fats associated with heart disease) and have been linked to stabilising your pulse. In turn, Omega-3 is vital in reducing blood pressure and preventing the build up of cholesterol. Supplements are often used to get the required Omega-3, but eating Victorian seafood is far more delicious option that supports a sustainable local industry! |
