For all that I know best, I would spend limitless amount of money on food, especially on crab. Yea, it's a seafood and most people say it is high cholesterol but are you getting enough seafood in your diet? Despite studies that show the benefits of putting seafood on the dinner table, more families choose to eat red meat or poultry instead. This is unfortunate since seafood is rich in nutrients and, generally, low in calories. One form of seafood that's particularly low in fat and calories is crab.
Here are the health benefits of crab.
It's high in protein and has no carbs
Despite its low calorie and fat content, a serving of crab has a whopping twenty grams of protein. This makes it an excellent high protein alternative for the athlete or body builder who's tired of tuna fish. It's also carb free which makes it a good choice for diabetics.- It's very low in calories and fat.
Crab is a calorie counter's dream meat. A four ounce serving of crab meat has only 98 calories, and with under two grams of fat per serving, it's heart healthy. Despite its low calorie content, crab meat can be a filling and satisfying main course. - It's low in mercury
One of the big concerns with eating a seafood rich diet is exposure to mercury. The good news is that mid-Atlantic blue crab is very low in mercury, making it a good seafood choice for the whole family. In fact, crab is considered to be on of the safest forms of seafood in terms of mercury levels. - It's high in omega 3 fatty acids
Crab is a good source of heart healthy omega 3's which help to lower triglycerides and blood pressure along with reducing the risk of heart disease. Omega 3's are also thought to reduce the inflammation, enhance immune function, and even lower the risk of certain types of cancer. - Crab meat is also rich in vitamins and minerals with particularly high levels of vitamin B-12, a vitamin that's critical for healthy nerve function. It's also a good source of the minerals zinc and copper.
In conclusion, I'm glad that living with this passion actually benefits me. Except the fact that is low in calories not making me gain weight.
.'. Healthy Life = Crab = Seafood = Crab = Joy
