Hooked on Seafood Once a Week I'm hooked on fish...any kind. Orange roughy, salmon, shrimp, crab...you name it, I've got my fork in it. I've journeyed to foreign markets in downtown LA just to select an entire fish to roast with sweet fennel and onions inside. But you don't have to go far to enjoy the health benefits of just one serving of fish a week. It's as close as your local supermarket. Fish is one of the healthiest sources of protein and omega fatty acids IF you avoid shark, king markerel, swordfish and tilefish, which may contain mercury. Omega fatty acids can lower your risk of heart disease and help keep your insulin levels in check. Fish is low in calories as well and is an excellent source of vitamins, potassium and other minerals. Since fish contain lots of "good fats" it is also low in cholesterol. So which fish should be swimming in your food chain?
And it's not necessary to gorge on fish to get the benefits. Just 5 ounces three times a month is enough to decrease your risk of a stroke by 43%. So check out these tasty recipes, such as my Baked Basque Cod or other delicious fish recipes and I'll bet you'll be hooked too! |
