A lot of people don't bother trying seafood because they
are scared of cooking it incorrectly, not liking the flavour or just can't be bothered. It is out of the
normal everyday food such as chicken and beef, and depending on the seafood you buy, it can prove to be quite
expensive.
What is becoming more apparent now
though, is that seafood such as crab have amazing nutritional value and contain nearly all the necessities
within a balanced diet with very low fat content.
So slowly but
surely, people are becoming aware of the benefits so here we will simply list a lot of the health values crabs
withhold.
Calories & Fat content is probably the lowest you will
get in any food available
Being so low in calories is the ideal food for anyone who
is on a diet. A single serving can have as low as 80 calories, can be filling and leave a person satisfied,
unlike many health foods. As well as this, a single serving will have as much as 25 grams of protein,
suitable for the average weight lifter.
A lot of Omega 3's
Having Omega 3's lowers
blood pressure and prevents heart disease. There is also an increasing mount of evidence stating that they help
the immune system and reduce problems such as cancer et
cetera.
Very Low in Mercury
There have been concerns in the past that seafood has too
high a level of mercury, well crab is one species that is low in this element.
Nutrients and Minerals

and zinc. This vitamin also aids in the development of good healthy nerves and motor function within the
body.
