Did you know that the American Heart Association recommends eating seafood at least twice a week?
Not only is seafood delicious, but it's nutritious as well. Seafood is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals; many varieties of seafood are also low in sodium and cholesterol. Seafood is low in fat and most of the fat is poly-unsaturated (the "good" fat value from omega-3 fatty acids). With many diets recommending to only eat poly-unsaturated fat, rather than saturated fat, fish and shellfish make excellent main dishes. Some fish are relatively high in fat such as salmon and catfish, however, the fat is primarily unsaturated, making it good for you!
Beacon Light Seafood is packed with natural and abundant sources of omega-3's (the good fat) which can help keep your heart healthy. Include Beacon Light in your diet at least twice a week and you will be feeling better than ever and on your way to fantastic cardiovascular health!
