What are the benefits of oysters?
Oysters belong to the molluscs family, which are low in saturated fat and rich in minerals, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. These acids bring considerable benefits to human health, and unlike alpha-linolenic acids (contained in vegetable products) do not increase the risk of prostate cancer. In addition, fatty acids are beneficial for the heart muscle and reduce the risk of heart disease. Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for proper brain function, they can even be used for the therapy or prevention of mental disorders. They strengthen the immune system and are vital for nervous system and cell function. Omega-3 fats possess anti-inflammatory properties and are excellent antioxidants, which contribute to the removal of harmful substances and free radicals from the body. Scientific studies have shown that omega-3 fat can prevent and improve the condition of the eczema, allergies, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, depression and nervous diseases such as, diabetes, hyperactivity of children, psoriasis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular problems, as well as more serious diseases, for example, prostate cancer or breast cancer. Since your body is not capable of producing Omega 3, it is crucial to consume foods rich in these fatty acids.

Living lactobacteria helps to protect the body from viruses, harmful micro-organisms, pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasites.
