Do You Suffer From Sardine-o-phobia?

Sardines get a bad rap. Many people, if asked, will say they don’t like sardines, when in fact they’ve never even tried one. Chicken of the Sea is on a mission to change Americans’ perception of sardines by challenging consumers to overcome their sardine-o-phobia by trying the tasty (and super healthy) new Brisling Sardines, available in three gourmet flavors: pure spring water, olive oil and Mediterranean style.

“Sardines are a nutrition a powerhouse, filled with important nutrients found to promote cardiovascular health, bone health and reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases,” said Sharon McNerney, a registered dietitian. “Incorporating sardines into your regular diet is not only healthy, but opens you up to many new meal and snack options.”

Here are some of the health benefits of sardines:

Heart Health
Sardines are a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been found to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels. Sardines are also an excellent source of vitamin B12, which promotes cardiovascular health by keeping levels of homocysteine in balance, which otherwise can cause damage to artery walls.

Bone Health
Sardines are rich in calcium and vitamin D, which combined play an essential part in bone health since vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium. Sardines are also a good source of phosphorus, a mineral that is important to strengthening bones.

Disease Prevention
Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to protect against many types of cancer. Sardines are rich in omega-3s, and according to book “The Sardine Diet,” these acids may block a gene involved in the formation of cancer tumors.

Improve Skin Appearance
Sardines are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that have been found to promote youthful and healthy looking skin. The book, “The Sardine Diet,” says the anti-oxidants sardines contain can help to prevent wrinkles, while the omega-3 fatty acids can improve skin tone and color.

Reduce the Sodium in Your Diet

In April, the Food and Drug Administration announced plans to review the recommendation from the Institute of Medicine to reduce the recommended daily limit of sodium from 2,300 mg to 1,500 mg.

Sodium, which commonly enters the diet through salt, has long been linked to high blood pressure or hypertension, which can cause heart disease, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three adults has hypertension and another 25 percent are pre-hypertension. And while too much sodium is unhealthy, we still need some sodium to maintain the body’s balance of fluids.

According to the FDA, the natural sodium in food accounts for about 10 percent of total intake, on average. The sodium people add at the table or while cooking adds another 5 to 10 percent. About 75 percent of a person’s total sodium intake usually comes from sodium added to processed foods by manufacturers and sodium that cooks add to foods at restaurants and other foodservice establishments.

“The government’s goal is for consumers to reduce their sodium intake to about 1,500 milligrams or two-thirds teaspoon of salt per day,” said registered dietician Sharon McNerney. “Currently, most people consume about 3,400 milligrams of sodium or one and one-half teaspoons of salt every day.”

As part of our commitment to health, Chicken of the Sea recently completed a sodium reduction for its light tuna and albacore tuna products. Albacore tuna now contains 44 percent less sodium per serving and light tuna contains 28 percent less sodium per serving. Supermarkets and other retail stores will begin receiving their first shipments of the tuna products with reduced sodium levels now through October 2010.

In addition to the sodium reduction in our canned and pouched albacore and light tuna, Chicken of the Sea will continue to offer its low-sodium options: Chunk Light Tuna, 50% Less Sodium with only 90 mg per serving and Chunk White Tuna, Very Low Sodium with only 35 mg per serving.

The following tips will help you to reduce or become more aware of your daily sodium consumption:

  • Read labels. Most sodium is “hidden” in the foods we eat – in processed or packaged foods and in restaurant foods. For example, breads can be high in sodium, and most people wouldn’t expect to find it there.
  • Use herbs and spices. Chefs often recommend that people learn to use more herbs and spices to make foods taste more flavorful instead of salt.

Chicken of the Sea Introduces Healthy Selections

As the rise in food costs forces some people to shy away from nutritious options like seafood, Chicken of the Sea is introducing a cost-effective solution to help consumers like you get the recommended two servings of fish each week.

Healthy Selections tuna pouches – the newest addition to Chicken of the Sea’s line of convenient, shelf-stable seafood –are an excellent source of much-needed nutrients, such as heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein and vitamin D, and when eaten regularly can help improve overall health.

Health benefits associated with Healthy Selections include improved memory retention, support of healthy joints and promotion of healthy lungs, skin, muscles and eyes. What is more, because seafood is low in saturated fat and calories, it can help cut down on the risks associated with obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

The pouches, which come in 3- and 7.1-ounce options, are available in pre-drained albacore white tuna and light tuna varieties and boast only 60 calories per serving. Suggested retail price is 99 cents to $1.09 for 3-ounce pouches and $1.89 to $1.99 for 7.1-ounce pouches of light tuna, and $1.49 to $1.59 for 3-ounce pouches and $2.59 to $2.79 for 7.1-ounce pouches of albacore white tuna, making Healthy Selections an easy way for people to eat healthy, while watching their pocketbooks.

In April 2008, nationwide food costs made their biggest price increase in 18 years, with the U.S. Labor Department predicting food prices to continue to rise at a rate of 6.3 percent. This increase in cost has affected many people’s purchase decisions, causing consumers to cut corners when grocery shopping and opt for cheaper, and sometimes less healthy, options.

“As a variety of factors such as rising gas and food prices continue to send consumers looking for ways to save, it is important people do not choose unhealthy choices, but instead opt for healthful and affordable options,” said registered dietician Sharon McNerney. “Healthy Selections is a great choice for all consumers, as it is helps meet their nutritional needs and costs less than fresh fish and other protein sources.”

Health experts such as the American Heart Association, American Medical Association, American Diabetes Association and USDA all recommend eating seafood twice a week to help improve health. Check out www.TwiceAWeekForBetterHealth.com to find out more about the health benefits of seafood.
