Of all foods that can keep you young, fish tops the list! All fish is an outstanding source of protein and has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Seafood is nutrient dense and offers large quantities of protein and significant amounts of vitamins and minerals without high levels of saturated fats and calories. B vitamins found in seafood provide key minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and other elements necessary for proper development and growth.

Seafood also contains a very small amount of fat and the fats it does contain are considered “good fats”. Most varieties of fish and shellfish contain less than 5% fat. Even high-fat fish generally have less than 15% fat which is considerably lower than the amount in red meat. By substituting fish for meat in some of your meals, you can considerably lower your total fat and saturated fat intake.  How do you incorporate fish into your weekly meal plans?
