Eels.

Even though it looks not attractive , eels are excellent foods rich in nutrients . One advantage , rich hormone calcitonin , which serves to maintain bone strength . Slippery like an eel is an old adage that is addressed to a very crafty person , but always free of all charges. The phrase is an acknowledgment that the eel was very slippery and difficult to catch . Eel ( Monopterus albus ) is a ground fish belonging to the family of Synbranchidae and Synbranchiodae order , ie fish that does not have fins or other members to move .

Sources of Energy and Protein.

Judging from the composition of the nutrient , the eel has a value sufficiently high energies , namely 303 kcal per 100 grams of meat . Eel energy value is much higher than the eggs ( 162 g skinless kkal/100 ) and beef ( 207 kcal per 100 g ) . That's what causes the eel is very good for use as an energy source . Value of proteins in the eel ( 18.4 g/100 g meat ) is equivalent to the protein of beef ( 18.8 g/100g ) , but higher than egg protein ( 12.8 g/100 g ) . As with other types of fish , the eel protein digestibility value is also very high , so it is suitable for a source of protein for all age groups , from infants to the elderly .
Protein eel is also rich in amino acids that have some pretty good quality , namely leucine , lysine , aspartic acid , and glutamic acid . Leucine and isoleucine are essential amino acids which are indispensable for the growth of children and maintain nitrogen balance in adults . Leucine is also useful for breaking and formation of muscle proteins . Glutamic acid is needed to boost the immune system and to help the working aspartic acid neurotransmitters . High levels of glutamic acid in the eel eel make delicious and savory taste . In the ripening process does not need to be added flavorings such as monosodium glutamate ( MSG ) . The content of arginine ( nonessential amino acids ) in the eel can affect the production of human growth hormone is popularly known as human growth hormone ( HGH ) . This HGH that will help improve muscle tone and reduce fat accumulation in the body . Laboratory test results also showed that arginine serves to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells .

Rich Minerals and Vitamins.

Eels are rich in iron ( 20 mg/100 g ) , much higher than iron in eggs and meat ( 2.8 mg/100g ) . Consumption of 125 grams of eels every day has been meeting the needs of the body for iron , which is 25 mg per day . Iron is necessary for the body to prevent anemia , which is characterized by a simple body weakness, fatigue , and lethargy . Iron is useful to form blood hemoglobin , which carry oxygen to all body tissues . Oxygen is then serves to oxidize carbohydrates , fats , and proteins into energy for the body's activities . That's what causes the main symptoms of iron deficiency are weak , tired , and not powered . Iron is also useful for boosting the immune system , thus not susceptible to various infectious diseases .
Eels are also rich in phosphorus . Its value is two times the phosphorus in the egg . Without the presence of phosphorus , calcium can not form bone mass . Therefore , the consumption of phosphorus must be balanced with calcium , so that bones become stronger and stronger , so free from osteoporosis . In the body , phosphorus in the form of calcium phosphate crystals in general ( about 80 percent ) are in the bones and teeth . The main function of phosphorus is the giver of energy and strength in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates , to support healthy teeth and gums , for DNA synthesis and absorption and use of calcium . Phosphorus needs for pregnant women is certainly more than the times when it does not contain , especially the fetus for bone formation .
If the phosphorus intake is less , the fetus will take it from her mother . This is one of the causes of disease bone loss in the mother . Phosphorus needs will be met if the protein intake is also considered . The content of vitamin A, which reaches 1,600 SI per 100 g eel make excellent for use as a custodian of epithelial cells . In addition , vitamin A is also very necessary for the body's growth , vision , and reproduction processes . Eels are also rich in vitamin B. Vitamin B generally acts as a cofactor of the enzyme , so that the enzyme can function normally in the body's metabolic processes . Vitamin B is also very important for the brain to function normally , helping to form proteins , hormones , and red blood cells .
