Crawfish are rich in minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Eating them in moderation can effectively promote bone development. For adolescents in their growth phase, moderate consumption of crawfish may help support height development. Additionally, crawfish contain abundant iron, which can effectively replenish the body's iron stores in patients suffering from iron-deficiency anemia due to significant blood loss from injuries or hemorrhoids, thereby improving symptoms such as abdominal pain, black stools, and weight loss.
However, it is important to note that crawfish may carry a large number of parasites. Consuming undercooked crawfish can lead to parasitic infections, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Crawfish are considered a cold-natured food in traditional dietary principles and therefore are not recommended for individuals with stomach cold conditions, as consumption may worsen their symptoms and negatively affect health.
