Welcome to the book “Salmon 365 Volume 1” When you're making changes to your diet, it’s important to know why you have to eat less of some foods and more of others, especially if your goals are to lose weight and become healthier. If you understand the things about seafood dishes that make them good for you, it becomes easier for you to add it to your regular diet. Here are the different reasons to eat seafood, and salmon as well. 1. Supplies nutrients your body needs Seafood is an important source of essential nutrients, including Vitamin B, B-complex vitamins, and Vitamin D. B-complex vitamins like B1, B3, and B12 vitamins, as well as biotin, are responsible for metabolism and as energy production. Vitamin D improves immunity, helps the body absorb calcium, and stimulates cell and bone growth. If you live somewhere without lots of sunshine, get more Vitamin D by eating fish. 2. Helps in weight loss Losing weight is the best benefit of eating seafood. Weight reduction is achieved in a number of ways. 3. Seafood makes you full for a long time Seafood is a rich source of protein that takes longer to digest, helping you stay full for longer. Additionally, seafood contains lower unhealthy fat, so no need to worry about getting too much cholesterol when you eat seafood. 4. Seafood is light on the tummy Plenty of foods are difficult to digest, making you feel sluggish. Most people would take naps after a heavy lunch meal. So they burn as little calories as possible and use up less energy. The body stores the remaining calories as fat, which adds to one’s weight. This isn’t the case with seafood. Aside from being light on the stomach, seafood also helps you feel fuller. Eating seafood helps you stay energetic and alert, so you can do various activities for the day and burn more calories. 5. Seafood contains few calories Whether your weight increases or decreases depends on how much calories you consume. You must make a caloric deficit if you’re aiming to shed off some pounds. It involves consuming less calories than those you use, resulting in a deficit of calories, which in turn helps you lose weight. Eating low-calorie foods like seafood is an easy way to make a caloric deficit. You’ll lose weight while still getting nutrients. You can eat as much as you need and still feel fuller for a long time. Seafood is also low in carbohydrates. This means your body won't have excess glucose (in the form of fat) to store. Because seafood is filling, increasing your intake will cause you to cut back on foods rich in carbs. This will certainly lead to weight reduction. 6. Makes the heart healthier Not only is seafood healthy; it also contains less saturated fats, which is food for your heart. Seafood also has omega-3 fatty acids that also keep the heart healthy. These essential fatty acids lower the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmias and strokes. 7. Keeps your brain protected Our brain normally deteriorates as we age. But some people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Good thing, you can protect your brain by eating more fish. The brain is where the neurons are located, which are responsible for learning, storing memories, and regulating emotions. So increasing your fish intake can slow down the decline rate of cognitive skills. 8. Keeps depression at bay and treats it Depression is a mental health issue that we tend to overlook. It’s often regarded as a taboo subject, so people with depression hardly seek professional help because they fear the stigma that comes with the condition. Generally, people who suffer from depression are sad, have low moods, do fewer activities, and lose interest in life. They have to be treated to keep depression from getting worse. Nutrition is an effective way to prevent and cure depression. Specifically, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish are important in preventing and treating depression. This is why most people who eat fish regularly tend to be happier. Moreover, fish helps boost the effectiveness of antidepressants. Therefore, always eating fish is good for you if you have depression or want to prevent this condition. Now, let’s take a look at different delicious salmon recipes you can prepare at home.
