Health Benefits of Eating Seafood Who would have ever guessed that clams would have more iron than beef!! Yep, its true... Clams are remarkably high in iron. So high, as a matter of fact, that beef can't even come close. Approximately nine small cooked clams, (about a three-ounce serving) has nearly 24 milligrams of iron. That is more iron than recommended each day for most people. Not only are clams high in iron, but they are a good source of copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc, too! |

Clams contain decent amounts of cholesterol. There is nothing to brag about with the amount of cholesterol found in seafood such as clams and shrimp (Shellfish especially). However, the reason seafood isn't off limits for people with high cholesterol is due to its low fat and saturdated-fat content... Eating a low saturated-fat diet is much more critical in managing healthy blood cholesterol than eating a low-cholesterol diet. |

Clams actually pass as a lean protein. In a three-ounce serving there is less than two grams of fat and more than 20 grams of protein! They have practically the same amount of protein and fat as chicken. However, clams contain notably more of almost all vitamins and minerals than chicken on the nutrition facts... So if your looking for some balance in your diet, go for the clams! |
