They say anything good for you must taste terrible… well, what do they know? Eating Goose Point Oysters as part of a well-balanced diet can be one of the best tasting dietary choices for a healthy lifestyle.

Goose Point Oysters are a good source of iron, zinc and copper. In fact, an article in the Seattle Times titled Healing Food described shellfish as "so high in iron, it's a wonder they don't rust." As you know, oysters don't rust, but they do contain the minerals many call brain food.

Four ounces of (approximately three medium sized oysters) of Goose Point Oysters contain 100% of the recommended daily allowance (based on a 2000 calorie diet) of zinc. Zinc aids the body in cognitive performance, cell growth and repair, immune system protection, protein building, and promotes healing.

Iron, as well, is essential to a healthy lifestyle as it promotes brain development and function, immune system support, assists enzymes in the body, and helps red blood cells carry oxygen. Four ounces of Goose Point Oysters contain 35% of the recommended daily allowance of this vital mineral in a 2000-calorie diet.

The Naked Truth About Oysters

While there is no hard evidence on the subject, oysters have been known as aphrodisiacs for centuries.

The term aphrodisiac comes from the myth of the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, Aphrodite, who sprang forth from the sea, did so on an oyster shell.

Oysters are like no other food. They have been a favorite food of lovers and romantics throughout the centuries. It's a long-standing belief that eating oysters, especially raw, will increase your libido. The lust-provoking ability of raw oysters, some have suggested, is linked to high levels of zinc and complex sugars and proteins. Romance aside, oysters are low in fat and high in minerals, and thus a healthy, delicious food anytime!

It's like the old saying;

"Eat Fish, Live Longer. Eat Oysters, Love Longer."
