Crab meat is considered low in saturated fat and helps increase the level of HDL (good cholesterol) in your body which reduces the risk of strokes, coronary and circulatory heart disease.
Crabs, are also a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. It is also a rich source of chromium, which helps insulin to metabolize sugar, and thereby lowers the blood glucose levels in the body.
