The American Health Association recommends eating fish at least two times per week. The Omega 3 fish oil found in fatty fish like tuna and salmon contains fatty acids that benefit the hearts of healthy people and lower your cholesterol naturally. Fish is a better sort of protein than red meat because it is low in saturated fat. In addition to adding fish to the diet, doctors, recommend eating tofu, other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flax seed and their oils. Some people complain that fish is lacking in flavor, but this can easily be remedied by applying some seafood dry rub before cooking.
Doctors also recommend that those without Coronary Heart Disease and high cholesterol eat a variety of fatty fish at least twice a week. This diet also should include oils and foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid (flaxseed, canola and soybean oils.) Patients suffering from CHD should consume about 1 gram of EPA + DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish. Patients who need to lower triglycerides should ingest 2 to 4 grams of EPA + DHA provided as capsules under a physician’s care. Patients taking more than 3 grams of omega fatty acids from capsules should do so only under a physician’s care. High intakes can cause excessive bleeding in some patients.
How often do you eat fish? How often do you eat red meat?
As people become more aware of the need to eat healthy food, there has been an increase in the overall demand for seafood. People are becoming particularly aware of the health benefits offered by fish. Rife with the kinds of fatty acids that our body needs, there are few dishes that are more beneficial (and delicious) than fish. And as an added bonus, fish is an extremely easy dish to prepare. This is especially true if you have a prepackaged seasoning that you know and love.
As such, if you’re looking to incorporate more fish into your weekly dinner schedule, purchase a whole fish fresh from the market. Then preheat the oven while you apply seafood seasoning and lemon juice to the fish itself. If preferred, incorporate some dill as well. The taste of the fish will truly be enhanced by the seasoning, which is usually a mixture of lemon peel, red pepper, garlic, and salt. A simple combination, each element is meant to specifically highlight the natural flavors of seafood. Pop the fish into the oven and wait approximately twenty to twenty-five minutes, and you’ll have a delicious and healthy main entrée.
