Shellfish
Shellfish is a fatty fish including crabs, clams and shrimps which not only tastes good but also increases the production of good cholesterol in the body. Shellfish is a significant source of proteins, iron, vitamin B complex, and selenium. There is an extraordinary amount of cholesterol present in the shellfish. One 3 ounce serving of shellfish almost gives 166 mg of cholesterol which meats 50% of our cholesterol requirements and promotes the balance of LDL and HDL cholesterol levels in the blood. Moreover, shellfish has specific bioactive components in it like taurine and carotenoids, which play a significant role in lowering the LDL cholesterol and thus preventing the body from the risk of heart diseases.
