Chinese medicine believes that clams have the effects of nourishing yin, improving eyesight, nourishing essence, moistening viscera, softening and resolving phlegm.
Clam meat can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, accelerate the excretion of cholesterol and reduce the cholesterol content in the body. The effect of clam meat is even stronger than sitosterol, a commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug.
In addition, eating mussel meat can relieve troubles and fatigue, so people often have a refreshing and pleasant feeling after eating mussel meat.
However, the snail, known as the "crown of hundreds of flavors", is also a delicious aquatic product with high nutritional value.
It can be said that especially in restaurants rich in aquatic products or seafood, there are really many opportunities for snails and clams to eat together.
But you should know that snails and clams are cold foods, which will cause great stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and easily lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion.
Therefore, children should not eat snails and clams together. Especially when you are rich in aquatic products and eat in a seafood restaurant, don't let the children eat together. Be sure to remember this!
