Your Weight-Loss Food: Eat Seafood
YOUR DAILY DIET TIP

Here’s a tip that your heart and your stomach will love: eat seafood.
Fish is a great heart-healthy addition to any diet. The American Heart Association recommends at least one serving per week, primarily for its cardiovascular benefits – it improves cholesterol levels, may lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiac events like heart attacks.
But if that doesn’t get you to eat seafood, maybe this will: Eating fish is associated with losing weight. We are not taking about breaded, fried, or fast-food fish that comes served as a “-wich,” has an “O” after the filet, or arrives in a basket with a side of curly fries and hush puppies. Enjoy fresh fish pan seared, broiled, grilled or sushi style to get the benefits without the breading and batter. Studies show that lean fish (like cod) and fatty fish (like salmon) both help with weight loss. Fresh fish is expensive, but canned tuna works to reduce weight too.
As with many dieting strategies, it is not just about what are you doing, but also about what you are no longer doing. If you eat seafood (cooked in a healthy way), you’re not eating red meat, fried chicken or fast food.
MY THOUGHTS
I'm taking note that seafood here is fish. Nothing else was mentioned. Coz seafood to me is shrimps an crabs and squid. I'm going to assume they are still healthier than red meat.
