Seafish, a UK seafood organization announced that on March 3, 2010, the United Kingdom celebrated International Omega-3 Day.
According to Seafish, seafood has been recognized as the best dietary source of Omega-3 oils and the reduction in the risk of heart attack death is the most widely accepted benefit from eating more seafood. The consensus of knowledgeable experts is that eating more fish will reduce risk of death from a heart attack by around 25-30%.
At a conference on Seafood & Health in January 2009, experts from all over the world presented new research confirming that the complex of vitamins, minerals and long-chain fatty acids present in seafood can improve eyesight, skin, and concentration levels as well as improving cardiovascular health.
Seafish also noted that the European Food Safety Authority has increased the adult recommended intake of Omega-3 from 200mg a day to 250mg a day – more than the current UK recommendation of 200mg/day.
A recent survey undertaken by the organization revealed that more than eight out of ten Britons – 83% – described seafood as healthy but only about one third manage to eat the recommended two portions of fish a week.
Seafish is a Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB), sponsored by the four UK government fisheries departments and funded by a levy on seafood. For more information, visit www.seafish.org
