There Are Many Good Reasons To Eat Seafood

Most of us have read about the benefits of fish oil, which is full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Found in many common oily fish like mackerel, trout, sardines, herring, tuna, and salmon, it can also be taken in capsules by those of you who don't like seafood. Fish consumption has been found to boost your calorie burn by as much as 400 calories a day. Fish is also full of great, low-fat, muscle-building protein. Protein requires your body to burn more calories to digest. Make a point to eat seafood 4 or 5 times a week and/or take fish oil capsules. Your heart will love you.
