Health Benefits

C. Health benefits according to studies

1. Antimicrobial effects
In the research of Scallop shells and the use of its shell found that Heated scallop shell powder (HSSP) possesses broad antimicrobial action against the vegetative cells of bacteria, spores, and fungi. HSSP applied to fresh vegetables and processed foods reduces the number of viable bacterial cells. The use of HSSP in food processing provides a source of minerals and prolongs the shelf life of foodstuffs. Moreover, reducing the amount of scallop shell waste would reduce the related pollution problem. This report is a review of the antibacterial activity of HSSP and its application for the control of microbes, according to Antimicrobial characteristics of heated scallop shell powder and its application.

2. Humoral immunity

In the investigation of Bivalves of animals unclosed in two shell valves, such as mussels, oysters, scallops and clams found that recently, interest in bivalve immunity has increased due to the importance in worldwide aquaculture and their role inaquatic environmental science and their position in phylogenetic research. This chapter provides a short review of bivalve immunity, including cellular and humoral immunity and the key components and the interactions involved in humoral immunity.

3. Antibacterial effects
In the assessment of Phenoloxidase in the scallop Chlamys farreri found that PO reaction products significantly inhibited the growth of Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas salmonicida. No significant inhibition was found in Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus iniae, Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Edwardsiella tarda. When L-DOPA was used as a substrate, significant inhibition occurred in A. salmonicida only.

4. Immune response
In the investigation of Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), an important metabolic enzyme of aromatic amino acids, which is responsible for the irreversible oxidation of phenylalanine to tyrosine found that CfPAH, as a homologue of phenylalanine hydroxylase in scallop C. farreri, could be induced by cytokine and involved in the immunomodulation of scallops by supplying the starting material tyrosine for the synthesis of melanin and catecholamines. 

5. Antiobesity effects
In the study of Undaria lipid capsules contiaining n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid rich scallop phospholipids (PLs) with an incorporation of brown seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) lipids (ULs) containing fucoxanthin found that incorporation of UL into scallop-derived PL by means of capsulation may lead to an additive increase in the antiobesity properties of these bioactive lipids.

B. Health benefits according to concentration

1. Protein
In the research of the importance of dietary proteins influence body weight by affecting four targets for body weight regulation: satiety, thermogenesis, energy efficiency, and body composition, found that Ingestion of dietary proteins in diabetes type 1 exerts a delayed postprandial increase in blood glucose levels due to protein-induced stimulation of pancreatic glucagon secretion. Higher than minimal amounts of protein in the diet needed for nitrogen balance may play an important role for the increasing number of elderly obese subjects in our industrialized societies, since proteins exert beneficial effects in the conditions of overweight, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk factors, bone health, and sarcopenia. Adverse effects of increased dietary proteins have been observed in subjects with renal impairment- this problem is frequently observed in the elderly, hypertensive, and diabetic population. Nevertheless, dietary proteins deserve more attention than they have received in the past.

2. Selenium
Scallop contains trace minerals selenium which is essential for the healthy function of the thyroid and immune system as it increases the antioxidant defense system by fighting against the forming of free radicals and reduce the risk of irregular cells growth causes of tumor and cancer.

3. Phosphorus
a. Phosphorus forms an important part of the process related to growth and maintenance of bones and teeth.

b. Beside providing strength to bones and teeth by working together with calcium, The Abnormal Phenotypes of Cartilage and Bone in Calcium-Sensing Receptor Deficient Mice Are Dependent on the Actions of Calcium, Phosphorus, and PTH it also helps to converse Riboflavin and Niacin to the active coenzyme forms for digestion and absorption.

4. Vitamin B12
Scallops contain high amount of vitamin B12 which help to maintain healthy nerve according to the study of The multi-faceted basis of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) neurotrophism in adult central nervous system: Lessons learned from its deficiency by Scalabrino G., posted in PubMed (IV) red blood cells, DNA synthesis and regulation, according to the article of “Vitamin B12″ posted in Wikipedia(V) and protect against brain atrophy or shrinkage, associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the study of “Vitamin B12 status and rate of brain volume loss in community-dwelling elderly” by Vogiatzoglou A, Refsum H, Johnston C, Smith SM, Bradley KM, de Jager C, Budge MM, Smith AD., posted in PubMed (VI)

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF OYSTERS

The Health Benefits of Oysters

Photo By : Niu Ohana Boracay

1. Can Help In Weight Loss

The right seafood can work wonders for weight loss. Oysters are low in calories and fat but contain a high protein content. Persons trying to lose weight can take oysters to nourish the body with all the necessary nutrients without increasing fat consumption. In fact, Oysters have half the amount of calories contained in an equivalent serving of chicken, even though chicken is an already excellent low fat protein source. Proteins are known to have a high “thermic effect”, which is the amount of calories needing to be used to metabolize the macro-nutrient Thus, including them in diet will help boost metabolic activities and enhance weight loss without additional work.

2. Promote A Healthy Heart

A Buildup of cholesterol can cause blockage of arteries. Healthy diet and exercise can reduce your risk of heart diseases.

Omega-3-fatty acids are known to reduce the risk of cardiac diseases and enhance brain function. They increase the level of good cholesterol and decrease the level of bad cholesterol. Oysters are good sources of this form of fatty acid. The presence of magnesium and potassium also help to lower blood pressure and iron helps carry oxygen to blood cells

There is minimal risk of cardiovascular diseases when omega-3 fatty acids prevent ‘bad cholesterol’ from attaching to blood vessels and the arterial wall and shrinking the lumen space.

3. Can Help In Wound Healing

Oysters play a role in strengthening the function of the immune system. It contains zinc which reduces the risk of infection from microbes and aids the healing process. Intake of oysters also promotes adequate growth and development in children and adults. Researchers agree that lack of zinc may result in mental lethargy and poor hair growth. Zinc also provides mood stability, reducing anxiety, depression and anger. Synthesizing and boosting collagen levels to improve skin appearance and cell turnover are also properties that can be attributed to oyster consumption.

4. Provide Stronger Bones

As we advance in age, there is usually a corresponding decrease in bone density. Older ones are prone to bone diseases such as osteoporosis, which can be prevented by ensuring an adequate intake of foods that contain calcium and co-factors, such as Oysters. Brittle bones and a majority of tooth defects are due to a reduced amount of calcium intake. This element is responsible for healthy bones and maintaining bone mass. Oysters contain the adequate amount to cater for daily calcium needs of the body, especially when combined with dairy based calcium sources. With the intake of Oysters, prevention of arthritis and other bone-related diseases is possible.

5. Provide Increased Energy Levels

A Lack of proper nutrients required to keep the body functioning optimally is common with the diet we consume today. As a result, energy levels decrease and performance suffers.

Oysters can help eliminate fatigue, since they contain Vitamins and Minerals in an appropriate quantity suitable for improving the energy produced by the body. As a result, the turnover of worn out cells and formation of new cells are rapid and improved energy levels is achieved as a result.

6. Improve Overall Immune Function

Organs work together to protect the body from external invaders, with many mechanisms involved in protection of the body. However, the body needs assistance to fight invaders, which can be achieved by supplementing with oyster consumption. Oysters are an excellent source of anti-oxidants.

The immune system inhibits pathogens and unfamiliar cells from damaging the body. Major vitamins aid the body in doing so.

Vitamins A, C and Zinc work to enhance the immune system’s ability to engulf foreign bodies and destroy them before they can replicate and adversely impact healthy cells.

7. Oysters May Cure Acne

The zinc in Oysters can also work to inhibit the microbes causing acne. Zinc also reduces inflammation and clears the pores, reducing keratinocytes that block the pores.

Many people opt for synthetic acne preparations in the hope of getting rid of their problem, when consumption of natural foods such as oysters could hold the key to the problem after all. Many people are deficient in zinc intake today, so by simply addressing this problem, acne could be one less thing you have to worry about.

8. May Boost Sexual Drive For Men

Every man wants an increased sexual drive. Some go to the extent of taking a supplement that claims to boost sexual performance. One natural way to enhance this is intake of Oysters

Increased synthesis and secretion of testosterone will result in an increased level of sexual performance, and in conjunction with the generous amounts of amino acids, oysters stimulate the production of the primary male sex hormone. Deficiency in zinc, as some studies show, leads to decreased sexual drive in men. Men who want to improve arousal and treat a host of sexual problems are encouraged to try oysters, since they are regarded as natural aphrodisiacs.

9. Promote Better Vision 

The eyes are regarded as our gateway to the world. As such, it is imperative that we take good care of these organs, since vision defects have a way of adversely affecting our way of life. Regular exercise, a healthy lifestyle, and of course, consumption of oysters can help to improve and preserve our vision for years to come.

Regular consumption of oysters can improve eye function in dim light, prevent cataract development, and slow down age related macular degeneration as well.

10. Promote Reabsorption Of Anti-oxidants 

Anti-oxidants fight oxidation. Although, oxidants are found naturally in the body, an excess may damage the cells and cause a wide spectrum of negative effects such as cancer and heart disease.

To inhibit this action, the nutrients found in oysters effectively donate an electron to stabilize these “free radicals” and stop their damaging effects dead in their tracks.

Zinc and selenium are minerals found in Oysters. They help the body to absorb anti-oxidants so that they can continue to function and inhibit free radicals.

Failure to reabsorb anti-oxidants exposes the body to free radicals and damage to the cells inevitably occur over time.

Adequate reabsorption is equivalent to rapid anti-oxidant release which facilitates removal of harmful agents in a timely manner.

11. Promote Healthy Sleep 

Sleep is necessary. There is absolutely no replacement for sleep when it comes to restoring and improving brain function, and enabling growth and recovery of cells.

Ensuring we get enough sleep also helps restore energy levels, allowing for optimal performance during the day. Sleep also helps to keep us looking youthful, minimizing the appearance of age spots and wrinkles.

Thanks to the presence of the minerals zinc and magnesium, oysters can help us get to sleep and stay asleep, so that the deep restorative phase of sleep in achieved.

Conclusion

Oysters have been a major delicacy in times past. Take the time to try this out in your diet if you never have before, and experience the health benefits derived from the oyster. Oysters are natural remedies that are definitely worth the try.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF LOBSTER

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF LOBSTER

Photo By : http://www.boracaygo.com/images/2014/03/fresh-boracay-seafood.jpg

Lobsters, have only in recent history been known as a delicacy. In the early 20th century Lobsters were primarily fed to poor people and prisoners. In one example, indentured servants in a New England town successfully sued their owners to create a “only 3 lobster meals per week” rule. We should be so lucky!

In addition to being delicious, lobster also boasts many nutritional benefits including protecting heart health, decreasing inflammation, boosting brain function, promoting growth, speeding healing, and increasing energy. In addition, lobsters are a great place to get many essential vitamins and minerals.

So, without further adieu, here are some important health benefits:

Cholesterol Balance:

The high concentration of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids can help your cholesterol balance, with moderate lobster consumption.

Brain Function:

Lobster features a number of unique minerals and vitamins including B12, which is directly linked with maintaining nerve integrity and the maintenance of your nervous system. Lobster is also a very good source of choline, a water-soluble nutrient that can increase the production of neurotransmitters.

Protein Boost:

Lobster features high protein content which is important for the growth and repair of cells, tissues, bones, and organs. Unused protein is stored or later use as energy!

Reduce Inflammation:

The protein and “good” fat content found in lobster can result in decreased inflammation of the joints. This can be a part of providing relief for issues ranging from arthritic conditions to cardiovascular and circulatory health.

Happy Thyroid:

Lobster possesses selenium, a trace element, which helps stimulate the activity of thyroid glands. Selenium protects against free radicals during metabolism too, which makes lobster a great food to eat if you’re trying to lose some pounds.

Boracay Island is serving live Maine lobster. Have you ever wondered why “live” lobster is so important? One reason is that people like the lobster start to decay very rapidly after dying, so to ensure the best quality lobster experience, lobsters are kept alive as long as possible before being prepared.

So, get in soon and enjoy some lobster. It’ll treat you right!
