Nutritional value of shrimp
Shrimp is extremely rich in nutrition, and its protein content is several times to dozens of times that of fish, eggs and milk. It is also rich in minerals such as potassium, iodine, magnesium and phosphorus, vitamin A and aminophylline, and its meat is as soft and digestible as fish, which is a good nutritional product for the elderly and is very beneficial to health. It is also excellent food for people who are weak and need to recuperate after illness. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating heart activity, which can protect the cardiovascular system, reduce the cholesterol content in blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, and dilate coronary arteries, which is beneficial to prevent hypertension and myocardial infarction. Shrimp is rich in magnesium, which can be supplemented by regular consumption. Shrimp has a strong breast-promoting effect and is rich in phosphorus and calcium, which is especially beneficial to children and pregnant women. Scientists at Osaka University in Japan have recently discovered that astaxanthin in shrimp helps to eliminate "jet lag" caused by jet lag. Shrimp skin has sedative effect and is often used to treat neurasthenia and autonomic nerve dysfunction. It is particularly worth mentioning that the elderly often eat shrimp skin, which can prevent osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency; Putting some shrimp skins in the meals of the elderly is good for stimulating appetite and strengthening physical fitness.

However, what taboos should we pay attention to when eating shrimp?
Eating taboos of shrimp
People who are allergic to seafood and suffer from allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic purpura, etc.) should eat carefully.
The shrimp line on the back of shrimp is the waste that has not been excreted by shrimp. If it tastes muddy in the mouth, it will affect the appetite, so it should be removed.
Rotten shrimp is inedible. Shrimp with red color, soft body and turning around is not fresh, so try not to eat it.
Shrimp should not be eaten with some fruits. Shrimp is rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium. If we treat them with fruits containing tannic acid, such as grapes, pomegranates, hawthorn and persimmons, it will not only reduce the nutritional value of protein, but also stimulate the stomach and intestines when tannic acid and calcium acid combine to form calcium tannic acid, causing discomfort, vomiting, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Seafood should be eaten with these fruits at least 2 hours apart.
Shrimp can't be eaten with anything.
Pumpkin: Shrimp has extremely high nutritional value, which can enhance human immunity and sexual function, tonify kidney and strengthen yang, and resist premature aging. But shrimp can't be eaten with pumpkin, because eating together can cause dysentery (one of acute intestinal infectious diseases), and black beans and licorice can be used to detoxify.
Fruit juice: fruit juice (especially orange juice, pear juice, etc.) contains more vitamin C, which is prone to excessive vitamin C poisoning.
Soybeans: Soybeans are rich in protein, which helps digestion, but at the same time, it can cause indigestion and other symptoms with shrimp.
Jujube: Jujube is rich in vitamins. Eating jujube and shrimp together will make the vitamins in jujube reduce arsenic pentoxide in shrimp or shrimp skin into arsenic trioxide, which will cause poisoning.
Golden Melon: Golden Melon is cold in nature and sweet in taste, which has the effects of relieving asthma, clearing heat and benefiting phlegm. However, shrimp is warm, sweet and salty, and has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, invigorating stomach and qi, eliminating phlegm and resisting cancer. If the nature, taste and efficacy of the two are different. Eating together can cause diarrhea (a disease worse than diarrhea), which is harmful to health.
Pork and chicken: Shrimp should not be eaten with pork and chicken, which will lead to liver and kidney failure. The history book "Eating Meals is Right" records: "Shrimp can't be eaten with pork, which will damage the essence".
Don't forget the above taboos when eating shrimp.
