At Island Fin Poke, we’re always happy to serve up a poke bowl with these delightful little crustaceans, and we’re even happier to talk to you about the health benefits that eating shrimp has to offer you.
Excellent for Weight Management
Like many other forms of seafood, shrimp have a high dentistry of protein but very little in the way of calories and fat. This makes the dish very effective in filling you up with what your body needs with much less of what it doesn’t.
Boosting Your Brain
Have you ever wondered why some people refer to fish and other forms of seafood as “brain food?” Well, there’s a very good reason for that, because they are! Shrimp have high concentrations of B vitamins, which stimulate the mind and are essential for maintaining cognitive function as we age.
Owner of a Healthy heart
Maintaining the cardiovascular system is a fundamental building block of leading a healthy life. Shrimp contains fatty acids known as Omega-3s that regulate heart health, reduce inflammation, and help manage cholesterol. As a matter of fact, the AHA (American Heart Association) recommends that all adults get two to three servings of fish per week to maintain heart health.
Cancer Prevention
In recent medical studies, it’s been proven that many strains of seafood have been effective in battling various forms of cancer. Shrimp has many antioxidants that have proven effective not only in promoting heart health but also may provide a key to battling different carcinogens.
Skin Health
If you spend a fair amount of time out in the sun, then it may take more than just sunscreen to protect you from the harmful UV rays. Fear not, for a diet rich in seafood can be very beneficial for your skin’s health. It helps maintain elasticity and can help prevent damage from being out in the sun too long.
