1. Eating eel is vital for pregnant women
DHA is quite closely related to life. DHA accumulates rapidly during a person's embryonic period. In the last trimester of pregnancy, DHA in the fetal brain and cerebellum will increase three to five times, and will continue at this rate until the fetus is born and twelve weeks after birth. It directly affects the brain development of infants and children!
DHA is docosahexaenoic acid (Decosahexanoid acid), which is rich in deep-sea fish, especially eel is the most. Eel is a very peculiar animal, it grows and develops in freshwater, but must migrate to thousands of meters deep in the trench to reproduce and give birth. Young eel fry with the waves, and can find the river cycle growth. It is determined that 100 grams of eel containing DHA1100 mg, is 5 times the yellowtail. Eating only 100 grams of eel can satisfy an adult's need for a day.
Recent studies have shown that many lactating mothers do not have enough DHA in their bodies due to their diets, and that pregnant and breastfeeding women, in particular, experience a significant decrease in DHA. If the mother fails to supplement foods containing sufficient DHA during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the concentration of DHA in the body of infants and young children will be insufficient, which will have a significant impact on brain development and the foundation of intelligence. Therefore, during pregnancy and breastfeeding to supplement more DHA-rich deep-sea fish, eat more eel, the baby's brain development has a good nutritional supplementation, is a matter of mother and child health.
2, eat eel can prevent preterm labor
According to a Danish study, eating more fish in addition to the heart is very good health effects, for the prevention of some pregnant women in preterm labor may also be helpful. The study, published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Brit. J. Obst. Gynaeco 2000;107:382- 395), suggests that DHA may have a preventive effect on preterm labor in some pregnant women and on low birth weight in newborns. In a 1,000-person study comparing a fish oil group with an olive oil group, the fish oil group reduced preterm labor by about 12%.
As eel contains the most DHA of any fish, eating more eel is a good nutritional supplement for pregnant women and protects the fetus.
3, eel is the best health food for the elderly
Eel as a kind of fish from the deep sea, rich in fatty acids EPA / DHA show the human body, especially for the elderly special health care function. First, it can inhibit vision loss, eliminate eye fatigue, and have a certain effect on presbyopia. Retinal cells must be cellular alternation every day, eel's DHA can make the alternation active, prompting the retinal cells to be softer and more energetic, and rapidly transmit the message to the brain. Secondly, it is favorable to prevent cardiovascular disease. There are two types of cholesterol that people consume in their normal diet, one is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and the other is high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL will be deposited in the walls of blood vessels, liver and heart, and become an important cause of vascular sclerosis, fatty liver and cardiac hypertrophy. The role of high-density lipoprotein is the opposite, it has the characteristics of non-coagulation at room temperature, can make the blood flow in the blood vessels, eel cholesterol is mainly composed of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), playing the role of blood vessel "scavenger", with the prevention of heart attack, cerebral infarction and other blood vessel obstruction of the disease of the good effect. It is a major contributor to the reduction of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Eel collectively known as eel, divided into river eel and sea eel, for the precious edible fish, high tonic value. Eels are rich in fat and carbohydrates, which are the most abundant in all fish. River eel, also known as white eel and snakefish, is characterized by high fat content and high cholesterol content. Sea eel has much lower fat content and less cholesterol compared to river eel. ≮Effectiveness≯ Eel is rich in a variety of nutrients, has the effect of tonifying the deficiency and nourishing the blood, dispelling dampness, and resisting tuberculosis, etc. It is a good nutrient for patients who have been sick for a long time, weak, anemic, and tuberculosis. Eel contains a very rare West River Rock protein in its body, which has a good effect of strengthening the essence and kidney, and is a health food for young couples, middle-aged and old people. Eel is a calcium-rich aquatic product. Regular consumption of eel can increase the blood calcium value and make the body strong. The liver of eel is rich in vitamin A, which is an excellent food for night blind people. The nutritional value of eel is no less than that of other fish and meat. Eel meat is rich in high quality protein and various essential amino acids. Eel is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, the content of which is 60 times and 9 times that of ordinary fish respectively. Among them, vitamin A is 100 times that of beef and more than 300 times that of pork. The richness of vitamin A and vitamin E is very beneficial for preventing vision degeneration, protecting the liver and restoring energy. Other vitamins such as vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 are equally rich. Eel is also rich in "good" fat. The phospholipids contained therein are indispensable nutrients for brain cells. In addition, eel also contains what is commonly known as "brain gold" DHA and EPA (deep-sea fish oil components, DHA for docosahexaenoic acid, EPA for eicosapentaenoic acid), the content is higher than other seafood, meat, and DHA and EPA has been proven to have an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, eel also contains a large amount of calcium, which is also effective in preventing osteoporosis. The most attractive thing for women is that the skin and meat of eel are rich in collagen, which can nourish beauty and slow down the aging process, so it is called "edible cosmetics".
