DISCOVERING SEAFOOD PRODUCTS Eating fish is good for your health! This is fact, not just an expression. Eating fish, as indicated by the Mediterranean Diet, introduces special nutrients which improve our health. Use your imagination and preferences to discover which seafood products best suit your tastes. • Eating these products as part of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle can help fight overweight : in fact, people who consume more fish tend to be leaner than consumers of land animals. • Fish is the main dietary source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular Omega-3, which may have anti-inflammatory properties (i.e. reduce inflammation ), and are linked to positive effects on the heart. • The health benefits are greater than any possible risk if eating 2-3 portions of fish a week. There don’t seem to be any additional benefits from eating fish more than three times a week. In the Mediterranean food pyramid fish is correctly positioned at the same level as other protein sources, (e.g. dairy products, eggs and meat.) So, make way for fish while respecting the pyramid rules! SEAFOOD PRODUCTS AND HEALTH …allergies to fish, molluscs and crustaceans are quite frequent in the population. For this reason, these ingredients must always be clearly indicated on the food label. Always check the food label carefully to ensure that it is safe for our health!

Fake news has always existed and science can help distinguish fact from fiction.
