Lobster Health Benefits 

Seafood is often praised as a healthy protein. Compared with other “meats”, seafood is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, and protein. Fish and shellfish are also low in saturated fats, making them exceptionally good for heart health. 

Lobster is no exception. There’s this nasty misconception that lobster is “bad” for you because it raises cholesterol levels, but that is simply not true! That rumor is more associated with the popular preparations of lobster (most often these preparations are lobster soaked in butter) than the lobster itself. Lobster is a major source of important vitamins and minerals; B12, magnesium, Vitamin E, calcium, and iron, just to name a few!
