Can eating fried prawns with the skin on supplement calcium? Don't eat them at night

The nutritional value of prawns is very high. If babies can eat one shrimp a day, it is very good for calcium supplementation. Shrimp skin also has a certain calcium supplementation effect and is easily absorbed. However, be careful not to eat too much at night, as it can easily cause urethral stones.

1. Shrimp skin is rich in nutrients, with a calcium content of up to 991 mg/100 g. It is known as the "warehouse of calcium". However, it should be noted that because shrimp skin is high in calcium, it should not be eaten at night to avoid urethral stones.

2. Because the main component of urinary stones is calcium, and part of the calcium contained in food is absorbed and utilized by the intestinal wall, the excess calcium is all excreted in the urine. The human body's calcium excretion peak is generally 4 to 5 hours after a meal. If dinner contains too much calcium, or if dinner is eaten too late, or even if you eat dried shrimps before going to bed, when the calcium excretion peak arrives, people have already gone to bed and all the urine will be retained in the urinary tract. The calcium content in the urine will continue to increase and deposit, which can easily form urinary stones over time.

3. Therefore, calcium supplementation should not be taken too late or too much, and you should try to choose those that are easy to digest and absorb. Drinking a glass of milk 1 to 2 hours before going to bed is a very good choice.
