Anyone For Sea Food?.
Sea foods are commonly eaten; while shellfish is taboo for some or allergy causing and deadly for others. Sea foods can be used as a term to cover all foods from the sea, from fish to shellfish to seaweed. Apparently fish is healthier than red meats; fish is more easily digested and provides high levels of protein. It is cold current water fish that have more essential fatty acids and overall fish deliver polished wooden furniture essential fatty acids to our bodies, with plant sources delivering unpolished wooden furniture to us. The plants bringing these fats include sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, their oils, safflower oil, nuts and leafy vegetables. We derive types of fatty acids that are more easily used by the body and brain from fish and shellfish. Wake up and smell the coffee but not the fish! Fishy smells signify it is not fresh and has rancid essential fatty acids.
In shellfish there are high amounts of minerals and too much shellfish can be adverse to health, yet on occasion it may be of great benefit. Various types of shellfish are eaten, from crabs to lobsters to oysters.
It is not all white meat and there is the vegetarian seafood of seaweed. We often picture seaweed as a slimy green, brown or reddish algae found floating in the sea waters. It is not purely plant when seaweed contains plantain; which are minor sea-animals. We can purchase seaweed in dried form and eaten (after soaking) or added to flavour soups or used in other ways. There are types of seaweed which are known to be fine to consume, with some types that are more suitable for consumption. Seaweed may be in cosmetic-make-up products and certain carbohydrate sections of it can be incorporated in some processed foods. Fortunately seaweed with its high mineral levels can also be a fertilizer and this is relevant for land plants.
The kelp supplement of iodine is from seaweed. Land plants near sea spray and seafood have iodine. Why do we need iodine? It is needed by our thyroid glands, in our necks, to make thyroid hormones to regulate our metabolism. This maintains our health.
As there is potential that they can carry excess toxic metals or minerals, sea foods can be adverse. The reports of tuna fish having high levels of mercury that caused problems have been known. It was due to polluted sea waters where those fish were caught! There have been high levels of arsenic, another poisonous substance, shown in shell fish. It is generally not a problem unless we eat shell fish excessively. Due to absorption of surrounding minerals in the sea, sea foods reflect what the sea has within. Whenever we eat sea foods occasionally they can be healthy. There are international government measures to support safety in quality and quantity of sea foods which ultimately serves our health. - 17269
