Nonprofit group Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) is hosting and participating in a series of community events in eight US cities, and is conducting a national seafood recipe sweepstakes, to celebrate National Seafood Month in October.
The programming is part of SNP’s three-year public health education campaign to help Americans learn how to improve their heart health through increased consumption of seafood.
While the 2015-2020 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating seafood at least twice per week --translating to an average consumption of 250 mg per day of omega-3s, which is rich in essential nutrients -- only 10 percent of US consumers currently follow this recommendation.
