Does eating oysters help you have a baby boy?

Oysters contain nutrients such as protein, iron, copper, phosphorus, potassium, omega-3 fatty acids; antioxidants, and are rich in vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, C, and E.

In traditional medicine, eating oysters is believed to enhance male potency, nourish the essence and blood, treat insomnia, lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, heal wounds, improve premenopausal disorders, and enhance beauty.

In particular, oysters are rich in zinc, one of the key components that helps the body produce the male sex hormone testosterone, increasing sperm production and libido.

However, eating oysters does not help you conceive a boy. Excessive oyster consumption can lead to excess zinc, which can cause nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and a bitter taste in the mouth.

Eating too many oysters can increase cholesterol levels, leading to a higher risk of serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Oysters live in the sea and are at risk of contamination with various bacteria, parasites, and tapeworm larvae, so they need to be thoroughly cleaned before eating. Some people have seafood allergies, so they should be careful to avoid irritation, rashes, hives, itching, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

People with liver disease, chronic illnesses, or digestive problems should avoid eating too much of this food because the high protein and zinc content puts extra strain on the digestive system, leading to indigestion, abdominal pain, or diarrhea.
