#32: Oysters

Some people are allergic to shellfish, and that’s a crying shame because we love shellfish, not for its plentiful health benefits but because it’s so stinking delicious. Not everybody gets the attraction to these mollusks; they can certainly be pretty gross looking. But if you can get past that, you may be delighted by the taste.

Oysters provide high-quality protein, which is a complete type of protein. In addition, oysters offer many micronutrients, such as manganese, zinc, and copper, which can be very valuable for older women in combatting osteoporosis. And yes, the rumors you’ve heard about oysters increasing libido are true, thanks to the dopamine boost they give you.
