Seafood -
The Healthy
Alternative
By
Coleen Panetti
Most red and white meats
are very fatty and are not a healthy way to eat. Seafood on the other hand
offers you a great tasting alternative. When cooked correctly you couldn't
ask for a better tasting meal.
Seafood can be purchased either fresh or frozen. By freezing the seafood
fresh it can be shipped all over the world so everyone can have the
opportunity to enjoy fresh seafood that they may not otherwise be able to
enjoy.
Seafood that has not been kept at or below 39 degrees may not be safe to
eat, so if you're not sure if it's good or not, throw it away. It is not
worth the risk of getting sick. When choosing to purchase fresh seafood be
sure and check it out thoroughly to make sure it is fresh. One thing to look
for is to make sure the eyes are not bulging, but clear instead.
Don't accept fish where the gills are pink, they should always be red. A
very important fact to remember is that even though it is seafood, it should
not have a fishy smell to it. If you notice any of these things wrong, do
not purchase the seafood.
The best and safest way to cook frozen seafood is while it is still frozen.
You can cook it by baking the seafood in an oven, or cooking it in a frying
pan. The most popular way to cook seafood is wrapped in foil, and placed on
a barbeque grill. This seems to give you the best flavor possible. You can
thaw out the seafood before cooking it, but if you do
this, make sure you cook it as quick as you can. If you do not cook all
seafood that has been thawed, make sure you throw away any that is left.
Seafood can never be refrozen.
Because eating seafood can actually treat some illness and prevent certain
diseases, it can be considered a very healthily diet. Some fish contain the
omega-3 oils which help stop certain disease, and help in the aid of curing
some illness. Most all seafood is high in protein and low in fat, with the
exception of a few, such as the eel.
Seafood has been linked in helping the prevention of Alzheimer's disease,
and to aid in the prevention of breast cancer. Women in countries that eat
more seafood than red meat have a lower tendency of contracting breast
cancer. Using fish oil has also been linked to preventing some diseases.
There are a lot of healthy benefits from eating a seafood diet. Scallops and
mussels add zinc and iron to your body. Seafood also contains iodine, which
is good for your thyroids. Having a seafood diet is just a smart and healthy
thing to do.
