Several misconceptions about eating crabs
Have you been tricked?
(1) Pregnant women can't eat crabs? Wrong ❌
Clinical miscarriage, especially in the first trimester
This is mainly due to poor embryo quality
There is no miscarriage-inducing ingredient in crabs
But if you eat crabs, it's uncomfortable
For example, if you are allergic to crabs, you can't eat them
Also, be careful not to eat raw pickles
Eat crabs that are cooked well
Avoid parasites that harm the health of pregnant women and fetuses
(2) Can't eat crabs with dyslipidemia? Wrong ❌
Crabs are not very high in cholesterol
A male hairy crab of 3 taels has a cholesterol content of about 134 mg
Lower cholesterol content than 1 egg (293 mg).
The cholesterol of crabs is mainly found in crab yolk
The cholesterol in crab meat is not high
People with dyslipidemia can eat less crab roe
And for those who only eat crabs once in a while
Don't worry too much
(3) Can't eat crabs for gout? Wrong ❌
The purine content of river crab was 147mg/100g
It is a food with a high purine content
It is not recommended to eat crabs during gout attacks
During the remission period of gout, you can taste one in moderation
But eat less other meats
The total amount of meat eaten in a day does not exceed 120 grams
The edible parts of a 3-tael male crab are about 63 grams
Eat up to 57 grams of other meats
It is about 4 rolls of beef rolls equivalent to shabu-shabu
The general population should also pay attention
Don't go beer with crab!
When alcohol enters the body, it metabolizes to produce lactic acid
Inhibits the secretion of uric acid by the renal tubules
Reduces the ability of the kidneys to excrete uric acid
Then drink beer with high-purine crabs
can increase the risk of gout
(4) Can't crabs and persimmons be eaten together? Wrong ❌
Rumor has it that it goes
"Crabs can't be eaten with persimmons
The combination of the two can induce indigestion
It can even lead to
Problems such as gastric stones, poisoning, death"
Actually, in this matter
The most important thing to consider is the amount of consumption
Suppose you eat it all at once
10 persimmons and 10 crabs
Mild indigestion may occur
But after adjusting the diet structure
It will return to its original state of health
For normal people
Persimmon and crab are eaten together
It does not induce problems such as indigestion
But for some special groups of people (patients with stomach problems, etc.).
May be a threat to the stomach
How to eat crabs to be healthy?
Share these 5 points with your family~
Choose a live crab
When a crab is on the verge of death, the proteins in the body secrete a toxic substance, crab toxin, and as the death time is prolonged, the crab toxin will accumulate. After death, the crab meat is spoiled and easy to breed bacteria, which will cause harm to the body after eating. When buying crabs, choose crabs with hard and firm claws, quick reaction to crab eyes, and vigorous vitality.
It's best not to eat drunk crabs
Although there is a way to eat raw pickled drunken crabs, due to factors such as the living environment, crabs may have parasites and bacteria, and it is best to cook and steam them thoroughly before eating.
It is best to steam
Crabs are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and steaming can reduce the loss of unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA. If you feel that steaming is tasteless, you can dip it in ginger vinegar sauce to remove the fishy taste.
Control your food intake
The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that adults eat 300~500 grams of aquatic products per week, with an average of 40~75 grams of aquatic products per day, about 1 crab. If you feel craving, healthy adults can consume no more than 2 as appropriate.
These groups need attention
- Crab is a highly allergenic food, and it is not recommended for people with a history of allergy or allergy to crabs;
- People with spleen and stomach deficiency, pregnant women, children, and the elderly should also control the intake of crabs, so as not to affect gastrointestinal function and cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting and other symptoms;
- There is a lot of fat and cholesterol in crab roe, and people with "three highs" and heart disease should eat it in moderation;
- Crab is a high-purine food, and it is not recommended for patients with hyperuricemia and gout attacks.
