5 Amazing Benefits Of Eating Crabs

Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Manuj Yadav

Improves Heart Health

The omega-3 fatty acids in crabs provide many benefits for heart health. These important nutrients can help lower triglycerides, reduce blood clotting, and reduce the likelihood of an irregular heartbeat.

Prevents Anaemia

Many of the nutrients found in crabs, including vitamin B12 and folate, help reduce the risk of vitamin deficiency anaemia. People who suffer from vitamin deficiency anaemia do not have enough healthy red blood cells, which can lead to fatigue and weakness.

Keeps Your Brain Strong

Research suggests that people who eat seafood, such as crab, at least once a week have a lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This protection could be due to the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood.

Promotes Bone Health

You may already know that calcium is an important mineral for bone health. But did you know that phosphorus is just as important? Crab meat is rich in phosphorus and can help you build strong, healthy teeth and bones.

Contains Selenium

Crab contains much higher levels of selenium compared to other meats. This essential mineral is an antioxidant and not only helps prevent cell damage caused by free radicals but also strengthens your immune system. It also plays an important role in thyroid function and helps regulate metabolism.
