Anti-inflammatory Mediterranean seafood paella rice with vegetables (I used green beans, peas, red and green capsicums/bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes) seasoned with ground turmeric to give the yellow colour to the dish, white pepper, and fresh garlic. Seafood is a rich source of iodine, selenium, and zinc, essential nutrients for optimal health. These nutrients are particularly crucial for thyroid health as well as immune and liver detoxification support. Include at least 3 servings of good quality seafood per week to provide your body with a good supply of these essential nutrients. Green beans are a rich source of vitamin K, essential for the metabolism of calcium and Vit D, and for healthy blood circulation. Capsicums and tomatoes provide vitamin C as well as many other nutrients and antioxidants. Turmeric adds extra anti-inflammatory power to this delicious meal💚
