It's no secret that seafood is a superfood that makes us healthier, provides many valuable substances to the body and gives a lot of energy.
Seafood dishes deserve a central place on our table, although it is difficult at all times to obtain them - especially fresh.
Still, they are available frozen in many places - and in sufficient variety. Some of the seafoods are particularly healthy and it is good to include them regularly in our menu.
Here is the seafood with the most health benefits for all of us.
Oysters
They are an absolute nutrition bomb full of nutrients. They contain easily digestible minerals - iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iodine, etc., as well as valuable vitamins from group B, vitamin A and even vitamin C. Oysters also contain an abundance of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids and omega-6. They support the work of the cardiovascular system, reduce harmful cholesterol, restore hormonal balance, prevent arthritis, arthrosis, atherosclerosis and a number of other diseases. In addition, they are considered an aphrodisiac - they improve and strengthen the erectile function in men and generally have a stimulating effect on libido in both sexes.
Mussels
They contain the same abundance of minerals, vitamins and useful substances as oysters. They are especially rich in phosphorus, which has a beneficial effect on cell metabolism, as well as zinc, which increases the level of testosterone. They are a great source of protein and contain a lot of iodine, an element necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. They are prepared quickly and are easily digested.
Calamari
They are a low-calorie source of many proteins, all B-group vitamins, vitamin E, PP, iodine, iron, phosphorus, zinc, unsaturated fatty acids and a number of other useful substances. They favor the condition of the nervous system, the functions of the heart and the general cardiovascular system, joints and muscles. Especially suitable food for athletes and everyone who wants to build muscle mass due to the high level of proteins.
Shrimp
Very often, when mentioning shrimp, we make an association with aphrodisiac, similar to oysters. Indeed, they also have a positive effect on sexual potency. But not only that. With its rich composition of vitamins and minerals, shrimp are beneficial for the circulatory system, the brain, the digestive system, the joints and bones. They reduce bad cholesterol, improve the health of blood vessels, regulate blood pressure, prevent dementia and Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases.
Fish
Among the most valuable fish, we will mention tuna, salmon and herring. From them you can get a huge amount of the essential unsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, B-group vitamins, vitamin D, antioxidants and countless other useful substances. Alternate these types of fish on your table with the rest of the seafood - pan-fried shrimp, stuffed calamari, steamed mussels to get the best that seafood can give us.
