Shrimp, Crab & Lobster
According to the American Heart Association, Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fatty fish, benefit the heart of healthy people. Omega-3 also helps folks who are at high risk of, or who have, cardiovascular disease.
Shrimp, crab and lobster are all good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and numerous vitamins. The shellfish are also low in fat, low in calories and high in protein.

According to researchers, some of the fatty acids in coconut milk contain lauric acid, which has properties that can help improve the immune system to fight off illnesses and diseases such as cancer.
Coconut milk is also a dairy-free substitute for folks who are lactose intolerant. In addition, coconut milk has been shown to promote brain development and lower bad cholesterol.
