GlucoMenu® Tip of the Day:

Strive to eat more seafood.  Seafood contains omega-3 fatty acids that are considered a good type of fat because of the benefits they provide.  Omega-3 benefits include:

  • reduction of blood triglyceride levels,
  • prevention of blood clotting (which can cause blood vessels to narrow and ultimately become blocked),
  • possible reduction of blood pressure, and 
  • food sources are low in saturated fat.

Seafood tends to be the best source of omega-3 fatty acids.  The American Diabetes Association recommends 2-3 servings of fish per week for dietary omega-3 fatty acids.
