Shrimp is not only delicious, but also extremely healthy. Firstly, it is one of the main sources of protein (like almost all seafood) in the complete absence of carbohydrates (which is important for diabetics and just for people who monitor blood sugar levels). Thus, boiled shrimp in combination with fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers) and herbs can be eaten as much as you want without any damage to the figure and health. You will get a minimum of calories with a huge amount of other useful elements.

In addition to protein, shrimp contain omega-3 fatty acids (just in the form that is needed for humans), selenium, vitamin B12, iron (which is very important for people with anemia), phosphorus, zinc, copper; magnesium; potassium (for the heart). And this is not the whole list of macro- and microelements.

Among other things, shrimps grown in natural conditions in open water contain iodine, which is so necessary for the thyroid gland to work.
