Does eating oysters help give birth to a boy?

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

In traditional medicine, eating oysters helps strengthen yang, replenish essence, nourish blood, can cure insomnia, reduce cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, heal wounds, improve premenopausal disorders, and beautify.

In particular, oysters contain a lot of zinc, one of the important ingredients that helps the body produce the male sex hormone testosterone, increase sperm production as well as sexual desire.

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

Eating too many oysters will increase cholesterol levels, leading to a high risk of dangerous diseases such as heart disease, blood pressure, and stroke.

Oysters live in the marine environment, and are at risk of being contaminated with bacteria, parasites, tapeworm larvae, etc., so they need to be cleaned before eating. Some people with seafood allergies should be careful to avoid irritation, rashes, hives, itching, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

People with liver disease, chronic diseases, digestive diseases should not eat too much because the high protein and zinc content makes the digestive system work at a high frequency, leading to indigestion, stomachache or diarrhea.
