SEA FOOD BENEFITS RISKS
Very few foods have confounded consumers as much
as seafood. Despite the fact that the health
benefits that come with eating fish and shellfish
keep on escalating, fears of fish contaminants
here and there eclipse the good related with
eating more fish. Are we being unreasonable?
This Presentation offers some of the benefits
and risks of eating seafood, which will clear
some of the myths associated with seafood-
3
BENEFITS OF EATING SEAFOOD
  • Omega-3 unsaturated fats are found richly in
    FISHon top of the list are oily fish, like,
    salmon, sardines, and herring.
  • These omega-3 fatty acids can help bring down
    your BP (blood pressure), bring down your heart
    rate, and improve several, varied cardiovascular
    risk factors.
  • Consuming fish lessens the risk of death from
    coronary disease, the main cause of death in men
    as well as women.

  • Fish consumption has likewise been associated
    with a lower risk of stroke, depression, and
    mental decline with age.
  • For pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and
    women of childbearing age, fish consumption is
    recommended as it supplies DHA, a valuable
    omega-3 unsaturated fat, that is good for the
    brain development of newborn children.

RISKS OF EATING SEAFOOD
  • Some fish have mercury. On men women not of
    childbearing age, theres no evidence found that
    mercury exposure from basic levels of fish
    consumption has, any bad health effects.
  • On the contrary, seafood consumption has immense
    benefits for lessening the risk of death from
    heart disease, the main cause of death.
  • Thus, mercury exposure from fish consumption need
    not be a big worry for men or for women not of
    childbearing age.

6
  • The benefits of fish consumption can be augmented
    by eating a wide range of fish.
  • Chemicals like dioxins and polychlorinated
    biphenyls (PCBs) can deposit in eatables,
    including fish. The levels of these synthetic
    substances in fish, including cultivated fish,
    are low and similar to levels in meats and dairy
    items.
  • Compared with overall benefits of fish
    consumption, the health hazards of these chemical
    levels are low and need not impact individual
    decisions on fish consumption.

7
  • Compared with store bought fish, locally caught
    freshwater fish often contain higher levels of
    chemicals, so it is wise to take local assistance
    when buying fish.
  • All in all, benefits of consuming seafood far
    outweigh the risks associated with it.
