Dr. Gary Myers: The Importance of Eating Fish

While the new 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines prod Americans -- especially pregnant or breastfeeding moms -- to eat more fish, many may be wondering exactly why seafood is so vital for a healthy diet.
To learn more about the powerful nutrients found in fish, we spoke with URMC neurologist Dr. Gary Myers.
For more than two decades, Dr. Myers and a team of URMC researchers have been conducting research in Seychelles, a tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean whose residents consume about 10 times as much fish as the average American.

Fish was one of the first meats consumed by humans in Africa about 300K years ago, as humans migrated north towards central Asia, Asia, Europe and the Americas. They'd rest in coastal areas with ready supplies of fish energy for their journey.
