Even though it looks unattractive, even while the disgusted look, eel is an excellent diet rich in other nutrients. One advantage, rich in the hormone calcitonin, which serves to maintain bone strength.

Sources of Energy and Protein
Judging from the nutritional composition, eel has a value sufficiently high energies, ie 303 kcal per 100 grams of meat. Eel energy value is much higher than the eggs ( 162 g kkal/ 100 without skin) and beef ( 207 kcal per 100 g) . That' s what causes eel excellent for use as an energy source.

The value of protein in the eel ( 18.4 g/ 100 g meat) is equivalent to beef protein ( 18.8 g/ 100g) , but higher than egg protein ( 12.8 g/ 100 g) . As with other fish species, the digestibility of protein in the eel is also very high, so it is suitable for a source of protein for all age groups, from infants to old age.

Eel is also rich in protein amino acid that has some pretty good quality, namely leucine, lysine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid. Leucine and isoleucine is an essential amino acid which is indispensable for the growth of children and maintain nitrogen equilibrium in adults.

Leucine is also useful for breaking and formation of muscle protein. Glutamic acid is needed to boost the immune system and aspartic acid to help work the neurotransmitter.

High levels of glutamic acid in eel eel makes delicious and savory taste. In the ripening process does not need added flavorings in the form of 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) . HGH, which will help improve the health of muscle and reduce fat accumulation in the body. Laboratory test results also show that arginine serves inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells.

Rich in Minerals and Vitamins

Eels are rich in iron ( 20 mg/ 100 g) , much higher than the iron in eggs and meat ( 2.8 mg/ 100g) . Consumption of 125 grams per day in compliance with eel body' s need for iron, ie 25 mg per day. Bodies need iron to prevent anemia, which is characterized by the body that is easy weak, tired, and lethargic.

Iron is useful for forming blood hemoglobin that carries oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Oxygen is then served to oxidize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy for body activity. That' s what causes the major symptoms of iron deficiency is weak, tired, and not powered. Iron is also useful to boost the immune system, making it prone to various infectious diseases.

Eels are also rich in phosphorus. Its value is doubled phosphorus in eggs. 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, phosphors in the form of calcium phosphate crystals are generally ( about 80 percent) are in the bones and teeth.

The main function of phosphorus is as an energy and strength on the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, as supporting healthy teeth and gums, for DNA synthesis and calcium absorption and usage. Phosphorus requirement for pregnant women certainly more times than not contain, especially for bone formation fetus.

If the intake of phosphorus is less, the fetus will take it from her mother. It' s one of the causes of brittle bone disease in the mother. Phosphorus needs will be met if protein intake is also considered.

The content of vitamin A that reaches 1600 SI per 100 g making eel excellent for use as a custodian of epithelial cells. In addition, vitamin A also our bodies need for growth, vision, and the reproductive process.

Eels are also rich in vitamin B. Vitamin B generally acts as a cofactor of an enzyme, so that enzymes 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.
