Summary of 5 Surprising Types Of Seafood You Should Be Eating For Longevity | Dr. William Li

Key Wellness Strategies:

Incorporate Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3s are vital for reducing inflammation, improving circulation, supporting gut health, and enhancing immune function.
Choose Seafood Wisely: Opt for seafood lower on the food chain to minimize exposure to heavy metals, while still obtaining beneficial omega-3s.
Cooking Techniques: Simple cooking methods such as baking, grilling, and sautéing can enhance flavor and preserve nutrients.

Cod
- Contains about 284 mg of omega-3s per serving (deck of cards size).
- Cooking Tip: Bake or broil with flour and oregano, sear in olive oil, and finish in the oven.
Mediterranean Sea Bass
- Similar omega-3 content to cod; requires slightly more to match the serving size.
- Cooking Tip: Grill whole stuffed with garlic and herbs for added flavor.
Shrimp
- Requires only four medium-sized shrimp to get the same omega-3 benefits as cod.
- Cooking Tip: Cook with the head and shell on for maximum flavor; sauté with garlic and olive oil.
Mussels
- About 10-12 mussels provide the same omega-3s as a piece of cod.
- Cooking Tip: Steam or cook in pasta dishes for a quick meal.
Squid (Calamari)
- Three medium squids or ten small squid provide ample omega-3s.
- Cooking Tip: Sauté with garlic or ginger in olive oil for a versatile dish.
