Nutritional value
On the nutritional value of seafood remains a favorite compared to river and terrestrial animals. Contains more protein, except that directly in the whites of chicken eggs.

Useful taurine
Another very useful substance that is delivered to us from the sea – the amino acid taurine. It regulates blood pressure, helps to develop insulin, maintaining proper blood sugar levels and promotes normal metabolism of potassium and other minerals, and thus, prevents heart rhythm abnormalities.
The iodine content
The clams almost no fat (healthy fats contact in the neighborhood – for marine fish), but iodine is a hundred times more than, say, beef. That this element needed by the thyroid as air, has heard everything. But not everyone knows that organic iodine contained in seafood, the surplus is excreted by the body naturally. So there’s no risk of “overdose”. And artificially iodized products – the whole is absorbed, so you can overdo it.
