Humans need cholesterol, which amongst other things is an important component of cell membranes. High blood cholesterol has become a problem for many people and can lead to a variety of health problems such as coronary heart disease. Most animal meat, eggs and shellfish are comparatively high in cholesterol and have therefore in the past received a lot of negative publicity. The human body produces cholesterol from saturated fats and evidence has shown that dietary cholesterol does not necessarily become cholesterol in the blood. The cause of high blood cholesterol is in other words not a diet high in cholesterol but a diet high in saturated fats, which the body itself then turns into cholesterol in the blood. Shellfish are very low in fat.
They are very heart healthy as they are shellfish which has the omega-3 s which are good for the heart.
They are not fatty, quite safe.
mostly seafood causes alot of side effects.but i will just eat it ,wadever the effects.coz i live my life to the fullest !! ^.^
I m slightly confused by your question, are you asking if they cause high cholesterol levels, or hypertension(high blood pressure)? Any animal product can contribute to increased cholesterol level, so if you are eating crab and shrimp everyday, then it is possible that it will raise your cholesterol level. As far as hypertension, I have never heard that those two can increase blood pressure. Of course the way that they are prepared can effect BP. If you are adding a lot of salt when preparing them, then yes it could possibly raise your BP. Without the addition of foods that have shown to increase the risk for hypertension, I wouldn t worry about those two.
I don t know IS they?
I don t know about hypertension but those crustaceans ARE high in cholesterol.
there healthy to eat
