Seafood and Health

Seafood is one of the most nutritious foods available. Not only does it provide the building blocks our bodies need to function and grow, it provides them in their most natural form. This enables the body to absorb more of the nutrients it needs.

Canning is the best and safest way of preserving seafood. Cans may be kept for many years, with the exception of anchovies, which should be kept in a cool place for no more than 18 months. Canning makes the bones soft and digestible, providing a source of calcium.

Calcium, which is present in sardines, is important for adults and children. Calcium is a mineral the body needs for numerous functions, including building and maintaining bones and teeth, blood clotting, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the regulation of the heart's rhythm. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is stored in the bones and teeth. The remaining one percent is found in the blood and other tissues.
