Other Benefits
Seafood boosts your metabolism, therefore, reduces the risk of obesity. Depending on how it’s cooked, seafood tends to be a lean source of protein, so it’s nutritionally dense and low in fat. Protein is also satiating, leaving you feeling fuller for longer, which helps you maintain healthy body weight. The omega-3 fatty acids help lower your cholesterol and your blood pressure.
Fish can even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. People who have a higher consumption of fish have a reduced risk of digestive cancers, such as oral cavity, colon, pharynx, and pancreatic cancer, compared to those who ate lower to no amounts of fish, according to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
