Many oyster lovers can devour several in one sitting for the sake of great taste alone. There are, however, several amazing benefits to sticking them into your diet regularly. Oysters make neat pearls, they’re healthy, and we love serving them along with a nice cocktail here at Salt & Barrel.
Some of the Amazing Benefits of Oysters
- They’re Very Vitamin Rich
-
-
- Oysters have a ton of great vitamins and nutrients such as selenium, zinc, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, magnesium, and more. These are some of the most critical vitamins that set the tone for a healthy framework.
-
-
- We’re told that these bolster one’s libido as well. Scientists continue to explore a link between zinc consumption and improved sexual function. If you and your spouse struggle in this regard, try including oysters and other seafood in your diet.
- Oysters Fit Well Within a Low-Calorie Diet
-
-
- There are roughly 74 calories per 100 grams of oysters. That’s not a whole lot. Even an egg (another low-calorie superfood) has about 100 calories. This means you can enjoy this healthy treat without all the dietary scrupulosity.
-
-
- We know how hard it can be to find a clean protein source. Fortunately, oysters have more than 8 grams of protein in a 100-gram serving. Also, the carb count isn’t overwhelming if you’re trying to keep things mostly Atkins/Keto-friendly.
- Eating Them Can Strengthen Your Bones & Immune System
-
-
- Provided you get clean and freshly-sourced oysters (like ours), it can really enhance your circulatory and immune systems. Moreover, with all the Vitamin D3, your bones and joints get stronger, too. Crack an oyster shell, so that you don’t crack your joints anymore.
- They’re Rich in Antioxidants
-
- Oysters have a unique antioxidant that supports better brain and liver function. Like most seafood, oysters possess nutrients that improve cognitive function, hence making you smarter!
