Benefits of Oysters

I believe everyone is familiar with oysters. Let’s learn about its effects.

Oyster

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the main effects of oysters are: astringing yin, suppressing yang, stopping sweating, astringing sperm, resolving phlegm, and softening hard masses. It can treat epilepsy, dizziness, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, spermatorrhea, stranguria, metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, scrofula, and goiter. It can be used for palpitations, insomnia, dizziness, tinnitus, scrofula, phlegm, lumps, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, spermatorrhea, metrorrhagia, and stomachache. In more popular language, oysters have the following seven main effects:

Benefits of Oysters

1. Strengthen liver and detoxify

Oyster glycogen exists in the liver and muscles that store energy, and is closely related to cell division, regeneration, and activation of red blood cells, improving liver function, relieving fatigue, and enhancing physical strength. Taurine contained in oysters can promote bile secretion, remove neutral fat accumulated in the liver, and improve the liver's detoxification function.

2. Improve sexual function

Oysters contain a large amount of arginine, which is essential for sperm production, and trace element zinc. Arginine is the main component of sperm production, and zinc promotes hormone secretion. It is particularly important to note that men lose 1-2 mg of zinc every time they ejaculate. If zinc is insufficient, the number of sperm will decrease and sexual function will also decline.

In addition, selenium is also an essential trace element for sperm production. Although the central nervous system for erection and ejaculation is on the spine, the operation of the spine is closely related to vitamin 12. Therefore, eating oysters can improve sexual function. Male diseases such as decreased sexual function, impotence, prostate enlargement, and genital dysplasia are often caused by insufficient lead.

3. Blood stasis purification

In traditional Chinese medicine, very viscous blood that is difficult to flow is called blood stasis, which is the root of all diseases. Poor liver function can cause blood stasis. If the cholesterol in the blood is high, taurine can promote the decomposition of cholesterol in the liver, and then the excretion will increase, and the cholesterol content in the blood will decrease. From the above, it can be seen that taurine in oysters has a good preventive effect on arteriosclerosis caused by blood stasis, and the subsequent angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction.
