Specialists from the Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor explained why shrimp are beneficial and why they should be included in your diet.

First of all, this low-calorie seafood is rich in calcium and protein, which are perfectly absorbed by the human body.

Shrimp also contain immunity-strengthening vitamins A, B, C, D. They also contain a lot of iodine, which is necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

In addition, shrimp are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and Omega 6), which are responsible for heart function, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, and also greatly reduce the risk of dangerous diseases such as cancer, heart attack and stroke.

“Shrimp contain a lot of cholesterol, but including them in the diet, even in large quantities, does not increase the content of “bad” cholesterol in the blood. This is a unique property of the product,” explained Rospotrebnadzor.

When choosing frozen shrimp, experts advise paying attention to their appearance – the quality of the product is indicated by the presence of a uniform pink color (except for the head) and a curled tail. Also, the package should not contain too much ice and snow.
