Seafood Restaurants in Manchester

Seafood, like red meat, is a good source of high quality protein. This means it contains all the essential amino acids needed to build and repair body tissue. Both lean and fatty fish are excellent choices for a heathy diet. Fish contains less total fat than red meat and the fat is low in saturates (the type of fat that raises blook cholesterol levels) and high in polyunsaturated and monousaturated (the type of fat that does not raise blood cholesterol levels) fatty acids. For years nutritionists have suggested including more seafood in the diet because low fat and low saturated fat diets are linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. In addition, new research is showing that the omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood, especially the fattier fishes, may be effecting in lowering blood cholesterol and triglycerides. It's also a delicious food type and although not specific to a culture, you can find several speciality restaurants in Manchester to satisfy your appetit for 'Les fruits de la mer!'
