1. Nourish and strong
Oysters contain 18 kinds of amino acids, liver glycogen, B vitamins, taurine and calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and other nutrients, often eaten can improve the body's immunity. Oysters contain taurine that lowers blood lipids and blood pressure.
In ancient Greek mythology, oysters were a food that represented love. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, oysters are ventilated with water, moisturizing the lungs and benefiting kidney water. Western medicine verifies that it is one of the most zinc-containing natural foods (up to 100mg per 100 grams of oyster meat), which means that eating only 2 to 3 oysters a day provides the zinc you need throughout the day. The great value of zinc is reflected in the fact that it is a vital mineral in the male reproductive system, especially in the past fifty years, the sperm count of men has dropped significantly, and it is necessary to supplement with enough zinc.
2. Calm the mind
Cui Yuxi said in the "Food Classic" that "oyster meat cures sleepless nights, and the cure is uncertain.". Regular consumption can reduce symptoms such as irritability, palpitations, insomnia, dizziness and tinnitus caused by yin and yang. The vitamins and minerals contained in oysters, especially selenium, regulate nerves and stabilize mood.
3. Nootropic brain
Taurine, DHA, and EPA are important nutrients needed for intellectual development. Glycogen is a form of energy reserve in the human body, which can improve the efficiency of human physical and mental activity. In addition, pharmacological experiments have shown that the use of oyster shells to increase the zinc content in the body can improve the body's zinc-cadmium ratio, which is conducive to improving and preventing hypertension, and plays a role in brain protection and brain health.
4. Beneficial to the stomach
Li Shizhen also said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that oysters "cure weakness in meat and relieve heat after drinking,...... Smooth skin, oyster shells dissolve phlegm soft and firm, clear heat and dehumidify, relieve temper pain, diarrhea is red and white, eliminate hernia masses. "It is slightly cold and has an acid-making effect, so it is more beneficial for people with excessive stomach acid or stomach ulcers."
5. Strengthen muscles and bones
The Shennong Materia Medica records that "(oysters) serve for a long time, strengthen bone knots, kill evil qi, and prolong years." The calcium content in oysters is close to milk, and the iron content is 21 times that of milk, which helps bones and teeth grow after eating.
Calcium in oysters makes the skin smooth, copper makes the complexion look good and looks particularly bloody; potassium can treat dry skin and acne; vitamins can also make the skin smooth and regulate the secretion of oil.
6. Prolong life
Oysters are rich in nucleic acids, which play an important role in protein synthesis, thereby delaying skin aging and reducing the formation of wrinkles. With the increase of age, the body's ability to synthesize nucleic acids gradually decreases, and it can only be ingested from food, and the milk that people drink daily is far less than the nutritional value of "seabed milk" in this regard.
