Oysters are great for your diet. Oysters are one of the best foods on earth. They can be eaten raw, grilled, steamed, or fried and used in a variety of dishes. Oyster farms are low-impact on the environment and managed to ensure sustainability.
Nutrition
Oysters are a great source of protein, vitamin D, and zinc as well as high levels of Vitamin C and riboflavin. It doesn’t end there. Oysters are also high in healthy cholesterol, beneficial antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Weight Loss
As we just discussed, oysters are packed to the brim with nutrients, yet they have one of the lowest calorie-to-serving-size ratios of any food out there.
Heart Health
They are known to lower the risk of plaque buildup in blood vessels and improve cardiovascular health. They also have a high level of vitamin E, which protects against heart disease.
Blood circulation
Oysters are high in potassium and magnesium, which can help lower blood pressure, and increase blood oxygenation and circulation. Oysters’ iron-rich stockpiles help form red blood cells, increase metabolism, and protect against anemia.
Bone Strength
Oysters are rich in healthy minerals that can dramatically improve your bones’ strength. Zinc, iron, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and selenium all work together to increase bone durability and protect against osteoporosis.
Immunity
Antioxidants are something you may have heard of before. Antioxidants are found in fresh vegetables, teas, and herbs. They protect the body from harmful free radicals and reduce the risk of developing heart disease or premature aging.
Aphrodisiac
Because of their high zinc content, oysters have been known for being an aphrodisiac for a long. Zinc has been shown to increase sexual drive and masculinity in men, especially for the latter.
