Oysters are Gems on a Plate
Ever wonder if oysters are good for you? The answer is a resounding YES! Find out what makes oysters a superfood. A good way to describe oysters is “culinary medicine” because they are a food that provides the benefits of natural healing.
Oysters are actually antioxidants since they boost the immune system and protect our cardiovascular system. Plus, they are a great source of vitamins and minerals.
Oysters are good for you
Packed with Minerals and Low in Calories
There are only 42.1 calories in 100 g of oysters. Compare that to the 241 calories in a meat steak! Low-cal oysters are healthy for you, and they are packed with an element that every muscle needs: protein. Not to mention they contain minerals that our bodies need to function. You can eat oysters to your heart’s content, but watch the calories when it comes to the bread and butter that are usually served on the side.
Oysters for a Healthier Immune System
There’s been a lot of talk lately about adding vitamin D and zinc to our diets. Oysters have tons of vitamin D and they also contain selenium, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mineral. Just 100 g of oysters is all adults need to reach their daily allowance of copper—and triple their allowance of zinc.
Interesting fact: When older adults add marine shellfish to their diets, they produce more white blood cells to fight off infections.
