How to Choose the Nutritious Healthy Choice

It is simple to choose the nutritious and healthy choice and a great way to do that is by eating lots of fish and shellfish which are rich in protein, omega 3, vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Seafood is a great way to live healthy and get your needed health benefits in the process. It is recommended by the food guide to have 2 servings of seafood a week. This can consist of clams, lobster, crab, salmon and there are so many ways to serve seafood to make it different. Why not try a delicious lobster salad with fresh greens, dill, cucumber and tomatoes. This is great by itself presented as a salad or add to a fresh bun and it is a great healthy meal.

Shrimp are also healthy and delicious and why not grill some shrimp up on a barbeque with fresh lemon, garlic, hot peppers and olive oil. Leave shell on, peel and enjoy. Shrimp are also great in pasta with red sauce, pesto sauce or served as a soup with mussels, jalapeno peppers and garlic. Salmon is also a very healthy choice as it is fairly inexpensive to buy and easy to prepare. Salmon is great wrapped in tinfoil filled with garlic, lemon, dill and a dab of butter. Or our favourite way of presenting salmon is adding fresh tomato sauce to it, with added olives and oregano cook in the oven for the most unbelievable dish. This one is great for children as the tomato sauce gets rid of the fishy taste.

Now is the time to start eating healthy and choosing healthy alternatives. Watching your intake of food is important to your growth and health and overall life style. Trying new recipes is a great way to learn new favourites while eating healthy at the same time.
