Celebrating World Health Day: The Role of Seafood in Longevity

Posted by Joci Besecker on

April 7 is World Health Day, and there’s no better time to talk about something we all care about—feeling good, staying strong, and living a long, healthy life.

At Premier Catch, we believe that what you eat plays a huge role in how you live. And when it comes to nutrient-dense, heart-healthy, brain-boosting food, wild seafood is at the top of the list.

Let’s take a closer look at why seafood is a powerhouse for longevity—and how you can easily fit more of it into your weekly routine.

Why Wild Seafood Is One of the Healthiest Foods You Can Eat

We talk a lot about quality, sourcing, and sustainability—but the health benefits of wild seafood are just as powerful.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Omega-3s: These essential fatty acids reduce inflammation, support brain function, and promote heart health. Wild seafood—especially salmon, sablefish, and halibut—is one of the best natural sources of omega-3s.

  • Lean, clean protein: Wild fish is high in protein and low in saturated fat, making it ideal for building muscle, fueling active lifestyles, and staying satisfied longer.

  • Low mercury levels: Because we source exclusively from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, our products are naturally lower in mercury and contaminants than many imported or farmed alternatives.

  • Micronutrients: Think vitamin D, B12, selenium, and iodine—all crucial for energy, mood, and metabolism.

Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or just trying to eat better, wild seafood is one of the most nutrient-rich choices you can make.

Why 2x a Week is the Sweet Spot

The American Heart Association and countless health experts recommend eating seafood at least two times per week—and for good reason. Regular seafood consumption has been linked to:

  • Lower risk of heart disease

  • Improved cognitive health and memory

  • Better sleep

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Healthier aging overall

It’s one of the simplest, most delicious ways to invest in your long-term health—and it doesn't require a complicated diet plan.
