Eating two serves of seafood a week (one high in omega-3s), as part of a healthy diet, can provide significant health benefits across our entire lifespan, according to new research out this week. The research was funded by Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and led by Dr Wendy Hunt from Murdoch University School of Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences, along with a Curtin University research partner. Findings determined that seafood’s unique combination of omega-3s, protein, vitamin D, B12, iodine, selenium and zinc could reduce risks of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia, and improve foetal brain development during pregnancy while supporting cognition during ageing. Mental health benefits were also notable, with studies indicating that omega-3s can help manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.
