There’s no doubt that healthful eating habits contribute to a healthy body. It’s been known for decades that heart health, weight control, illness prevention and overall body functioning are all affected by what we eat.
For women, there’s the added importance of eating properly when pregnant or breastfeeding, because another person is depending on you for nourishment.

Although no single food alone can make a person healthy, eating more seafood is one way that most of us can help improve our diets—and our health.

Salmon, sardines, tuna and even shellfish are rich in omega-3 fatty acid content, but increasing your consumption of all types of fish and seafood is recommended.
