Now we value shrimps, mussels, squid and other seafood no less than our own potatoes or carrots. They contain a lot of useful vitamins and minerals for our body.
A kilogram of "sea cocktail" is cheaper with us than beef, and there is much more benefit from it. Do not forget about this. Fish days at least twice a week, and even better three - a healthy rule for every person.
First, you will feel better: all seafood is an excellent source of quality and, what is important, easily digestible protein. Secondly, you will become less sick. Fish oil perfectly strengthens the immune system, and omega-3 fatty acids protect the heart and blood vessels, including the blood vessels of the brain. Thirdly, there will be no shortage of essential nutrients.
In seafood, scientists have counted more than 40 useful trace elements, including phosphorus, iron, magnesium, copper, fluorine, selenium, vitamins A, E and group B, as well as iodine. It is enough to eat 20-50 grams of shrimp, and the daily intake of iodine is provided for you. By the way, seafood contains from 10 to 20% protein and a minimum of fat - from 1.5 to 5%.
How to choose fish products. Pay attention first to the ice where the seafood lies: it should not be melted. Smell the selected seafood, fresh and high quality has a pleasant, slightly sweet aroma. The frozen seafood bag must be free of snow and ice. If seafood is sold in brine, it must be transparent, without impurities. Fresh fish fillets have a firm, slightly shiny texture and no windy edges.
Unfortunately, seafood can cause allergies in some people. Most often, this reaction occurs precisely on sea, and not freshwater fish, regardless of whether it is raw or cooked. Moreover, an attack can even provoke a fishy smell.
