Not only is it delicious! Cumin squid has so many benefits!

Many times, when people eat a delicious dish, they pay more attention to the taste of the dish itself, and few people care about the health benefits and effects of the dish. Take cumin squid for example, do you know what specific effects it has? How much do you know about its nutritional value?

1. Treat anemia

Fish is rich in calcium, phosphorus and iron, which are beneficial to bone development and hematopoiesis, and can effectively treat anemia.

2. Relieve fatigue

In addition to being rich in protein and amino acids needed by the human body, squid also contains a large amount of taurine, which can inhibit the cholesterol content in the blood, relieve fatigue, restore vision, and improve liver function.

3. Anti-virus

The peptides and selenium it contains have antiviral and anti-radiation effects.

4. Inhibit cholesterol

Modern medicine has found through research that although squid has a high cholesterol content, it also contains a substance - taurine, which has the effect of inhibiting the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood. As long as the ratio of taurine to cholesterol in the food consumed is above 2, the cholesterol in the blood will not increase. The taurine content in squid is relatively high, with a ratio of 2.2. Therefore, when eating squid, cholesterol is only used normally by the human body and will not accumulate in the blood. Professor Wang Cunxin of the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that cholesterol is divided into low-density and high-density. The cholesterol in squid is mainly high-density, which is beneficial and harmless to the human body. The structure of fat in squid is significantly different from that of fat in livestock and poultry. The cholesterol in squid is mostly concentrated in its internal organs. There is no need to worry about increasing cholesterol intake by eating squid. Therefore, for those who are afraid of getting fat, eating squid is actually a good choice.

5. Supplement trace elements to prevent Alzheimer's disease

According to data from the Ocean Branch of the China Fisheries Association, squid has the advantages of high protein, low fat and low calories. The fat content of squid is only about 4% of that of general meat, and the calories are much lower than meat products. It is not only rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and trace elements such as calcium, selenium, iodine, and manganese, but also contains rich DHA (commonly known as brain gold), EPA and other highly unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, the large amount of taurine contained in the meat can effectively reduce the cholesterol accumulated in the blood vessel wall, which has a good therapeutic effect on preventing vascular sclerosis and the formation of gallstones. At the same time, it can also replenish brain power and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people who are prone to cardiovascular diseases, squid is a healthy food.
