Might Increase Blood Circulation

According to research cited in the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, oysters can be an excellent source of iron. Iron levels in oysters may be as high as 6 mg per 100 g. This is close to the daily need of postmenopausal women and men of 8 mg. Premenopausal women require nearly double the amount. Iron is essential for the development of red blood cells in the body. It is the first line of defense against anemia, also known as iron deficiency, which can cause tiredness, cognitive dysfunction, gastrointestinal problems, and overall muscular weakness.

A steady supply of healthy blood cells in the circulatory system guarantees that the organ systems have enough oxygenated blood to function properly. This ensures that they work properly and that the body's total metabolic rate improves.
