Why are Prawns good for you and bad for you
GOOD• Although prawns contain some
cholesterol, it has been proven prawns are low in saturated fat and it is the saturated fat that causes heart disease and disease of the arteries.
• Prawns have a lot of protein. One serving of prawns gives you about 20.3g of protein. Protein helps with your energy level. Seafood should be in your diet at least twice a week.
• Prawns have high level of vitamin B12 and vitamin E and calcium most of these are essential for healthy skin, bones and teeth.
BAD • Some people believe that
prawns are high in cholesterol which can cause heart disease and disease of the arteries.
