#thinkseagan #fishisthedish #mackerel #salsaverde Get super skin
Forget lotions and potions. One of the main ingredients for great-looking skin is in your kitchen! We're talking fish! It's loaded with a variety of nutrients that play a role in maintaining normal skin. These include zinc and copper found in many shellfish; iodine and niacin (vitamin B3) found in a variety of white, oily and shellfish; riboflavin (vitamin B2), found in crab, flounder, herring, mussels, mackerel, whiting and sardines; and biotin found in cockles, basa, crab, oysters, mussels plaice and sardines.

#thinkseagan #fishisthedish #skin #zinc #copper #crab #flounder #herring #mussels #mackerel #whiting #sardines  #cockles #basa #crab #oysters #mussels #plaice #sardine Keep blood healthy
It's not just red meat that provides iron in our diet. Several shellfish including brown crabmeat, crayfish, clams, cockles and mussels contain this nutrient so can help to boost intakes - good news as according to the latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey, 27% of women aged 19-64 have extremely low intakes of iron, so are at risk of a deficiency. Why is this nutrient important? Because iron makes red blood cells, transports oxygen around the body, plays a role in producing energy and can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue. A serving of around 20 cooked mussels provides a third of our daily needs for iron.

Ref: Public Health England (2018) National Diet & Nutrition Survey. Results from Years 7 and 8 (combined) of the rolling programme (2014/2015 - 2015/16). 20 mussels = 140g flesh = 4.6mg iron. RI iron = 14mg .

#fishisthedish #thinkseagan #fish #tuna #seafood #chimchurri Build strong bones
Oily fish are one of the few foods that are naturally rich in vitamin D. This vitamin helps the body absorb calcium and so plays a vital role in keeping bones healthy. The Department of Health recommends most people consider taking a 10mcg supplement of vitamin D during the autumn and winter months. Herring is the richest source - just one small (85g) grilled herring fillet provides 13.7mcg vitamin D.

Ref: 85g grilled herring fillet = 13.7mcg vitamin D. The NRV is 5mcg but DH recommends 10mcg in winter and autumn .
