A tasty source of nutrients

Nutritionists Yana Kartaeva and Ksenia Selezneva spoke regarding the benefits of shrimp, rbc.ru reports. Shrimp are a low-calorie product; when boiled, the calorie content does not exceed 100 kcal per 100 g. They can be added to snacks and cooked as a main dish. Doctor Kartaeva recommends boiling and baking shrimp; you can fry them with a minimum amount of oil.

“Shrimp are an excellent source of complete animal protein. At the same time, they have very few calories due to the low fat and carbohydrate content. Therefore, shrimp are suitable for both those who want to lose weight and those who do not want to gain excess weight,” noted Doctor Selezneva.

Shrimp are of great benefit to the thyroid gland, as they contain a lot of iodine. This mineral regulates the functioning of the gland and has a beneficial effect on brain function.

Shrimp are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which affect metabolic processes and heart function.

The antioxidant astaxanthin in shrimp protects body cells from damage by radicals. It prevents damage to brain cells, reducing the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease.
